When Laurent, an older gay man, moves from New York to France for work, he faces an existential question: does he have another relationship in him? Laurent acclimates himself to a new job and community, meeting several gay professionals through his boss's network. As he frets over the decline of his body, Laurent ends up crossing paths with an irresistibly alluring man, André, who forces him to reconsider his vow to forego romance. André faces a crossroads of his own when his 20-year relationship abruptly ends. Secrets rise to the surface as André faces terrifying memories, tangled affections, and new life circumstances. Despite their reticence to get involved with one another, there is a powerful erotic force that keeps drawing André and Laurent together, one that seems to dance in and out of time. Their deepening rapport unfolds amidst tangled corporate alliances and against the backdrop of a mysterious medieval Christian sect, the Cathars. Both wrestle with questions about the soul, the body, sexuality, and spirituality - threads that define the juncture in their lives and ones that shaped the history of Languedoc. This evocative tale of longing and passion takes up challenging questions about what it's like to age as a gay man and how crippling past traumas can be for future relationships. The narrative celebrates the intelligence of the body and the power of eros to heal and inspire. Deeply satisfying, Filaments in Time is filled with magical villages, vineyards, art, ruined castles, prehistoric caves, and handsome men.
