Les Chansons D'Amour

Similar to Grande Ecole, Christophe Honore’s Les Chansons D'Amour also focuses on the story is being gay a choice and what leads up to it. Ismael was a married man who was in an open relationship with a third woman. Their love is passionate and grows and grows. However, Ismael’s wife dies and this sends Ismael in a downward spiral. He becomes depressed and it is one night where Ismael spends a night with a brother of a friend Erwann. There lust blossoms but Ismael tries to separate himself and Erwann. These changes in the end when Ismael is dropped off at Erwann’s apartment and he and Erwann have a passionate night together. What would have happened if Ismael’s wife never died? Would Ismael’s journey still take place?
