Morning Afterย is a bold and playful drama that explores the subject of sexual fluidity andย human desire. After a long time abroad, a young man named Michael returns home and reunites with friends. A sensual game amongst them forces him to confront deep conflicts within himself that lead to a powerful awakening.

 

โ€œI wanted to create a film that explores the idea of sexual fluidity and that also incorporates a creatively fluid approach to the storytelling. The viewer will come to the table with preconceived notions about the main character, Michael. However, whatever you think he is or isn’t, he will continue to defy your expectations. This is the core idea behind the notion of ‘no labels’ย at the film’s heart. As you journey along Michael’s arc with him, his point of view will become yours, and we learn that all combinations are possible.ย And like a diamond, sexualityย has many facets,โ€ย says director Patricia Chica.

ย 

Morning Afterย stars five bright rising actors โ€“ย Thomas Valliรจresย (Game of Death),Zoรฉ de Grand Maisonย (Orphan Black),ย Joey Scarpellinoย (The Parents),ย Jordana Lajoieย (Patrice Lemieux 24/7) andย Kristian Hodkoย (The Howling: Reborn)ย who also wrote the script.
