Stranger By The Lake

L'inconnu du lac

Frank spends his summer days hopelessly searching for companionship at a popular cruising spot on the shores of a lake in rural France. One day, he meets Michel, an attractive yet darkly mysterious man and falls blindly in love.

When a death occurs, Frank and Michel become the primary suspects but they choose to ignore the dangers and instead continue to engage in their passionate and potentially lethal relationship. STRANGER BY THE LAKE is an erotic thriller that tests the lengths and limits of sexual desire.

Winner of a Queer Palm at Cannes Film Festival. Winner of a Cesar Award for Most Promising Actor. Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival.

"A stunning minimalist erotic thriller that explores with arresting photography and economical use of dialogue how human identity is defined, and sometimes imprisoned, by our desires, drives, and passions." - Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
