Synopsis: Based on true events, GERONTO is a short LGBTQ+ coming-of-age drama about longing, connection and self-discovery. 

Set over the course of one night in the late 2000s, the story follows Younger – a man in his 20s – who meets Older – a man in his 70s – at a discreet London pub. 

What begins as a tender and intimate connection soon fractures under the weight of a painful misunderstanding, forcing both men to confront their deepest fears.

GERONTO sheds a light on the often taboo subject of gerontophilia, and challenges societal boundaries around age and desire. Delicate yet daring, the film offers a quietly radical portrait of queer intimacy across generations.
