Turtles

When Henri’s retirement from a lengthy career in the police force pushes their relationship to a breaking point, Thom goes all-out to rekindle their love – no matter the price. Turtles authentically portrays queer love and self-discovery, capturing both the highs and lows of long-term relationships. Featuring standout performances by Dave Johns and Olivier Gourmet as the beleaguered pair, this engaging and sensitive film is bound to be a crowd-pleaser.
