Add to a movie listWhat We Have (French: Ce qu'on a) is a Canadian drama film, written and directed by Maxime Desmons. It was the first feature film ever made under Telefilm Canada's new microbudget funding program.
The film stars Desmons as Maurice Lesmers, a gay French expatriate living in North Bay, Ontario who takes a job tutoring Allan, a high school student, in French while auditioning for a stage production of Molière's The Miser. Drawn to protect and defend Allan from the bullying that he faces at school for being gay, their student-teacher relationship is soon complicated when Allan falls in love with Maurice, in turn triggering Maurice's own repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse.
The film had its theatrical premiere in 2014 at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival, but wider release was delayed until 2015 due to producer Damon D'Oliveira's commitments to the promotion of the television miniseries The Book of Negroes.
Synopsis
Tout juste débarqué de France, Maurice s’installe dans un petit village du nord du Canada.Solitaire dans l’âme, il peine à s’ouvrir au monde extérieur et à rencontrer d’autres garçons. Même quand il va dans les bois à la recherche d’aventures d’un soir, il n’échange jamais de numéro… Pourtant il aime la compagnie d’Allan, un jeune adolescent renfermé et mal dans sa peau à qui il donne des cours de français. Il entretient aussi une relation avec Michael qu’il a rencontré dans la troupe de théâtre local où il joue une pièce. Entre les deux son cœur semble balancer… Entre attirance pour Michael et sentiments complexes qu’il ressent pour Allan mais qui pourraient bien l’entrainer sur un terrain glissant.Actors
