The Road to Love
is a romantic tale of self-discovery that also offers a fascinating
historical take on homosexuality in parts of the Arab world. French-Algerian
sociology student Karim is looking for interviewees for his term project,
a video documentary on homosexual relationships in Islamic cultures.
Along the way he encounters several subjects whose candid revelations
and flirtations inspire Karim to take his project more seriously.
As his research progresses,
he meets Farid, Karim believes he has found an ideal subject for his
film...but he soon begins to admire more than just Farid’s insight.
When Karim learns that some cultures have accepted and encouraged same-sex
unions, he finally begins to face his own sexuality.
Set
in scenic locales from Paris to Marselles to Amsterdam (with a brief
detour to Jean Genet’s grave in Larache, Morocco), The Road to Love is a shrewd
and sensual tale of enchantment and desire.
