The Man I Love

Watch Trailer
1997 · 87 min Drama Comedy
6.2 / 10 · TMDB

This is a combination coming out and first love story. The swimmer and diver Lucard is interested in attractive Martin. The film follows the characters' coming out with all its difficulties, the bitter-sweet pleasures of first love and the dreadful moment when one comes down to reality and realizes that one's beloved friend has a hard way to go yet. The positive message the film tries to transmit is the somewhat common motto "Live each day of your life as if it were your last."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

A tender and authentic coming-of-age story where comedy blends seamlessly with the drama of self-discovery. The film portrays the awkwardness and beauty of first love without resorting to clichés, focusing on genuine emotional beats.

What lingers after the credits is a sense of warmth and a quiet reminder to cherish the present. It's a story about the courage it takes to be true to oneself and to another. — MovieFinder Editorial
