The Affairs of Lidia

Bruce La Bruce
Canada / Spain 2022, 95’

The name essential to the PPWFF’s programme – Bruce LaBruce! This year we invite you to see the latest, perverse and unique (as usual) film by this exceptional artist – “The Affairs of Lidia.” Bruce LaBruce is known for his masterful juggling of film genres, and his latest creation fits into the structure of a romantic comedy, obviously spiced up with eroticism and singular humour. It is a satire on the world of fashion – the protagonist, a model, attempts to skillfully manoeuvre among the real and imagined love affairs of people from her environment, which eventually leads to a series of unforeseen disasters that set her life on a new track. A solid dose of stylish camp, carefree mockery and pseudo-tasteful aesthetics await.
