In 1970s Germany, a young student named Frantz meets Léopold, a businessman in his 50s. After they go to Leopold’s house, the businessman seduces the young student, who falls in love with him; they soon begin living together. But their relationship will become extremely complicated when Anna, Frantz’s former girlfriend, shows up one day. Based on a play written by Rainer Werner Fassbinder when he was only 19 (and which has never been performed), this film was adapted for the big screen by Ozon.
