After completing his latest project, filmmaker Tomas impulsively begins a heated love affair with a young school teacher, Agathe. For Tomas, the novelty of being with a woman is an exciting experience that he's eager to explore despite his marriage to Martin. But when Martin begins his own affair, the mercurial Tomas refocuses his attentions on his husband. Set in contemporary Paris, Passages charts an escalating battle of desire between three people, where want is a constant and happiness is just out of reach. Exquisitely shot and featuring honest, emotionally nuanced performances, Sachs has created a breathtakingly intimate and insightful drama exploring the complexities, contradictions, and cruelties of love and longing.
