The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Passages

On the last day of his film shoot in Paris, film director Tomas sleeps with a woman – then proudly tells Martin, his husband, all about it.

When Martin begins an extramarital affair of his own, he successfully gains back his husband’s attention, while simultaneously unearthing Tomas's jealousy.

Grappling with contradicting emotions, the relationship between the two men begins to change, in this tale of relationships marked by passion, jealousy and narcissism which shows no regard for the needs of others.

A grounded exploration of a very human experience that looks at the differences and similarities between physical and emotional attraction, Passages is a fresh, honest and brutally funny take on modern relationships that refuses to shy away from the messiness of life.

Written and directed by Ira Sachs (Love is Strange), and starring Adèle Exarchopoulos (Blue is the Warmest Colour).
