Pédale rurale

Benoît lives in Dordogne, just a few kilometres from the village where he grew up. Hidden away from prying eyes, he has built his own paradise there. In his own way, he has emancipated himself: alone, surrounded by nature and his colours. He has found ways to resist, to free himself from the scars of the past and continue inhabiting the land of his childhood. But along the path he has managed to clear for himself, brambles still remain and continue to wound him. So together we move forward, clearing the way, because our stories resonate with one another, because we found each other. And with the other queers from the area, we decide to organise a Pride. Because it is time to come out of the woods, to take up the space we have never had, to celebrate ourselves, to heal, and finally open a path forward.
