Synopsis: The Acrobat is a taut, hypnotic, gay psychological thriller in the tone of Last Tango in Paris serving as a metaphor for a world that moves on whether you are ready for it or not. Christophe, a repressed, successful professional is ‘condo shopping’ during a construction boom, in Montreal Quebec, Canada. He meets Micha, a self-destructive Russian Acrobat who recently broke his leg in a fall from a trapeze. Micha appears interested in the same place. They immediately embark on an intimate relationship and explore the boundaries of their perilous, un-defined ‘relationship’.

The film stars Sébastien Ricard as “Christophe” and Yury Paulau as “Micha“. Shot on location in Quebec.
