The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 91 minutes.

What it is about

After an unexpected encounter, Fleur and Julian fall madly in love. Soon after Julian proposes, an ambitious, yet challenging idea starts to dawn on Fleur. Slowly but surely, she works out a plan to get married in every country where she and her wife are allowed to do so. Fueled by their love and a rising sense of urgency, they take a leap of faith. After only four marriages, their journey comes to an inevitable, painful halt.

What to expect

Fleur and Julian fall hard and fast, and a proposal follows. Then Fleur lands on a plan: get married in every country that will legally recognise them. The movie tracks what happens when that bright idea meets border controls, paperwork, and the body’s own limits. At 91 minutes, it stays close to the couple rather than turning into a travelogue. French dialogue, English subtitles. Screening as part of HKLGFF 2026, so expect a short run, likely at a single venue. Best suited to viewers who want a contained European drama about the friction between private commitment and public barriers.
