Staying Vertical

Much more than a bucolic romance, a surreal search for identity across humans and wolves against the backdrop of the countryside, from a director who has left his own mark on queer cinema, Alain Guiraudie.

Synopsis

Documentary filmmaker Leo searches for a wolf in the south of France. During a search, he is enchanted by Marie, a feisty, free-spirited shepherdess. Nine months later, she gives birth to their child. But Marie suffers from depression and no longer has faith in Leo who comes and goes, leaving both him and the child behind. Leo returns and finds himself having to raise the baby alone.
