Ira Sachs and Franz Rogowski, respectively director and actor of the film Passages, are in conversation with Angelo Acerbi about the issues of love, trust and jealousy that are common to any relationship, regardless the gender of the lovers. It is a question of commitment and balance, but this balance can be shaken. A good starting point to analize a very very good film.

Passages: On the final day of his shoot in Paris, German filmmaker Tomas is visibly tense. He is all stern exactitude as he explains to his extras just precisely how to position their hands or what their motivation is as they walk down a flight of stairs – right up until the final slate. At the wrap party, Tomas falls first into the arms of his British husband Martin, but then he meets a young primary school teacher, Agathe. A dance develops into a flirtation and then into a passionate night together. The next morning, Tomas proudly tells Martin that he has slept with a woman. As this one-night stand grows into something more, the relationship between the two men begins to change. A tale of relationships that is marked by passion, jealousy and narcissism unfolds in which each shows scant sensitivity for the needs of the others.
