Feature Narrative(Philadelphia Premiere)

All the Colours of the World Are Between Black and White

A restrained and tender story of two men who become close in a society in which same-sex sexual relations are considered taboo and are liable for prosecution. Their dance around each other unfolds slowly, in images that are concentrated and filled with calm. A sensual and politically important film.
