Johan

Directed by Philippe Vallois1976France81 mins

Because of the love he feels for a boy (Johan), a young director decides to make him play in a movie. But Johan is in Jail before the shooting. Through other persons the author searches the absent one. He recalls the movie he had to make with Johan; that drives him in homosexual groups, Johan’s friends, enemies, replacements. Johan is a seminal queer film from director Philippe Vallois (We Were One Man).
