Matthew (Antoine Lahaie), a young Canadian, has just moved to Berlin. He’s arrived looking to make a fresh start, but feels the isolation of living in a strange, new city.
When he meets the alluring Matthias (Nicolas Maxim Endlicher), he finds himself completely entranced. Beautiful and charismatic, Matthias is everything Matthew wants to be.
Soon Matthew’s interest escalates, becoming a full-blown obsession. He begins to transform himself to embody the object of his desire. When Matthias gets into a motorcycle accident, the opportunity seems too perfect. Matthew does everything he can to literally become Matthias and usurp his life.
While in a coma in the hospital, Matthias’ waking life, his dreams and his memories all begin to blur. It becomes impossible to tell where reality ends and the artificial begins.
A surreal riff on Single White Female from provocative filmmaker Drew Lint, M/M employs striking visuals to tell an entrancing and unnerving story about loneliness, narcissism and queer psycho-sexual obsession.
Watch the trailer for M/M below. The film is now streaming on Dekkoo.
