Product Description

Paris, 1968. After a failed attempt to gain national acceptance for gay rights Marc finds himself adrift, dealing with the joys and agonies of being gay at a time when homosexuals had no place in society. In a park pick up, he meets Andre and they begin a relationship that will last off and on for the next three years. Andre is a small town factory worker who is not sure of his own sexuality. He turns to Marc to fill a need he knows he has, but sticks to his claim that he will marry later in life. Their passion is heated but is also tempered by Marc s fierce advocacy for gay rights, a fight that will lead him to butt heads with his father, a Paris police officer.
Made as an homage to the FHAR, the Front Homosexual d Action Révolutionnaire, the first gay rights movement if France, Ma Saison Super 8 is a touching testimony of an important moment of contemporary French history
