Fake Tattoos
A fake tattoo becomes the reason for Théo and Mag to spend a wonderful, sexually-charged night together. But their romance appears to have an expiration date as Théo is about to move to another city, “Before Midnight” meets the “Weekend” (2011) in another sweet film about the euphoria and pain of a love-at-first sight, dead-end love affair.

A fake tattoo is the excuse extrovert Mag needs to approach distant Théo, while waiting for their drinks at a diner in Montreal. He is alone on his 18th birthday, drunk after a heavy metal concert. She invites him to spend the night together. Their romance will be short-term, since Théo has to move to a small town in two weeks. What little time they have will bring them closer but will also make Mag realize that Théo is suffocating, bearing the burden of a guilty secret.
Pascal Plante’s debut feature, which brings to mind Andrew Haigh’s masterful «Weekend», is an unpretentious, sweetly melancholic film about the euphoria and the pain of an unexpected love which flourishes amidst confusing and dead-end circumstances. K.Th.
