A young policeman apparently "well to do" is shaken by the awakening of his desires on the fringe: an interloped cabaret singer breaks into his well-ordered life.

In a French public hospital, the adolescent psychiatry unit moves to the erratic rhythm of teenagers coming and going - many carrying heavy past baggage - while Etienne and his medical team navigate the relentless cycle of treating, listening, and confronting the raw edges of suffering. Young Lucia knows the ward too well. After being brought back yet again by the police, she reunites with her friend Eloïse and encounters a constellation of young patients, each wrestling with their own storms. At times, there is laughter, small breakthroughs, moments of fragile hope. But the balance is shaky, and the arrival of a new patient will shatter it entirely.

Love to Love tells the story of a passionate relationship where love is neither perfect nor easy, but where two souls accept each other’s intensity and flaws. It’s a journey into raw emotions, an invitation to surrender to the fire of feeling and embrace chaos rather than run from it. A film about imperfect love, that intoxicating flame that gives strength to exist together, against the world.

Urinals have always had a bad reputation. Bringing colour and life to these long-gone meeting places in the shadow, that was my challenge. I wanted to restore their disturbing share of sensuality. For generations of men who were looking for adventures with other men, public toilets were privileged places for meeting and recognition.
