9th Annual Brisbane Queer Film Festival
Riparo (Shelter Me)
Wed 28 May 08
Veteran Italian director Marco Simon Puccioni presents a seductive and bittersweet portrait of young love in the throes of class differences, grief and temptation.
Returning to Italy after a romantic getaway in Morocco, gorgeous lovers Anna and Mara find an unexpected souvenir stashed in their luggage — an Arab teenager named Anis. At first, Anis struggles to understand the lesbian relationship. But together the three find a balance and form a tender ménage à trois. And then Anis falls for Mara.
As Anis and Mara grow closer, they realise their common bond - and problem - with Anna: “She’s my shelter, because she loves me”. Love, trust and commitment are put to the test in this sublime drama.
