M/M (2018) - full transcript
Matthew is a young Canadian new to Berlin. He's come to make a fresh start, but he feels the isolation of living in a strange, new city. When he meets Matthias, he is entranced. Beautiful and charismatic, Matthias is everything Matthew wants to be. Soon Matthew's interest escalates, becoming an obsession. He begins to transform himself to embody the object of his desire, cutting his hair, getting new clothes. When Matthias gets into a motorcycle accident, the opportunity is too perfect. Matthew is Matthias. In a coma in the hospital, Matthias' waking life, dreams and memories blur. Where the real ends, the artificial begins.

Hello.
No, I just woke up.
No, I was just having a cigarette.
I was dreaming, yeah.
Statues. I dream about statues a lot lately.
My dreams are so real, sleep doesn't feel like rest to me.
I know.
What?
I know what they're thinking.
I should go. I have to go to work.
Yep.
I did work at Jarry, mom.
Love you too.
Love him too.
Okay.
Bye.
What's wrong with your voice? Are you sick?
Did I wake you?
Did you dream?
What did you dream about?
I don't remember my dreams.
Do they come to life?
The statues --- do they speak?
At the pool?
The pools in Montreal aren't good enough for you?
I know, it's just that... I miss you.
