Watch on
Simon, a dazzling star of Montreal's drag scene, finds his world turned upside down when he meets Oliver, the captivating new recruit at his club. Their passionate romance quickly morphs into a dangerous dynamic, jeopardising Simon's shining career. Complicating matters, Simon's estranged mother, a renowned opera diva, returns, prompting him to confront his idealised vision of her. As he navigates the heartache of these two relationships, Simon realises that he deserves better.
Théodore Pellerin delivers a career-defining performance in the groundbreaking role of Simon, written especially for him by Sophie Dupuis. SOLO’s impact is amplified by Félix Mariteau’s (SAUVAGE, 120 BPM) sensational performance as Olivier. Together they create a truly, unforgettable on-screen dynamic.
