9th Annual Brisbane Queer Film Festival
Comme Des Voleurs (Stealth)
Wed 28 May 08
A warm, witty and authentic voyage of discovery.
From all outward appearances, Lionel is a happy gay man with a career as a cultural commentator on Swiss radio and a family who accepts his devoted lover, Serge, as one of their own.
However after discovering the story of a scurrilous ancestor who emigrated from Poland to Switzerland, Lionel begins to immerse himself in everything Polish. Lionel’s life begins to heat up when he meets a pretty Polish immigrant facing deportation and decides to marry her, overturning his domestic harmony.
In pursuit of his family’s roots Lionel and his sister, Lucy, a social worker, take a road trip to Poland. This sweet oddball story deftly shuffles between sex, family love and adventure with comedic grace.
