Synopsis

Julian

After an unexpected encounter, Fleur and Julian fall madly in love. Soon after Julian proposes, an ambitious, yet challenging idea starts to dawn on Fleur. Slowly but surely she works out a plan to get married in every country where she and her wife are allowed to do so. Fueled by their love and a rising sense or urgency, they take a leap of faith. After only four marriages, their journey comes to an inevitable, painful halt.

“Every look and touch is gently observed…Kusters has made an impressive, understated directorial debut about love, loss and the bravery required to keep trying to live in an unfair world.”

– Jourdain Searles, The Hollywood Reporter

“JULIAN invites us not just to witness this love, but to feel it, carry it, and recognize the injustice that made such a project necessary in the first place.”
– Sara Clements, Next Best Picture

“Unique, noteworthy… Each piece of this puzzle feels carefully calibrated”
