Early 1990s. With AIDS having already claimed countless lives for nearly ten years, Act Up-Paris activists multiply actions to fight general indifference. Nathan, a newcomer to the group, has his world shaken up by Sean, a radical militant.
Robin Campillo was born in Morocco in 1962. In 1983, he went to study at the IDHEC (now called “La Femis”), where he met Laurent Cantet, with whom he has collaborated since the late 1990s as editor and co-screenwriter for the films Time Out (L’emploi du temps), The Class (Entre les murs), Foxfire Confessions of a Girl Gang, and most recently The Workshop (L’Atelier), selected for the Un Certain Regard section of the 70th Cannes Films Festival. In 2004, he directed his first feature film, They Came Back (Les revenants). Eastern Boys, his second feature film, received the Orizzonti Prize for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival, and was nominated at the 2015 César Awards in the Best Film and Best director categories.
