Love in the Time of Civil War (L'Amour au Temps de la Guerre Civile)

Alex (Alexandre Landry) is a young addict who sells his body in Montreal's Centre-Sud district. He's flanked by Bruno, Simon, Jeanne, Eric and Velma, all of them caught in the same spiral of compulsion. They are the fallen angels of a dark and violent time, yet their beauty somehow survives, rebellious amid the ruins. From one fix to the next, desire becomes a life raft as their bodies seek drugs to sooth their addiction. Like orphans of a wild tribe, they live and love in the shadows of society's indifference. Blu-ray comes in French with English subtitles.
