A 55-year-old police officer from Toulouse is faced with a mystery: his son and his friend are found dead in a hotel room. The autopsy shows that they died of a GHB overdose, with an interval of seven minutes between them. Driven by grief and the desire for answers, the father delves into his son's nightlife and enters the club BISOU, a popular meeting place for the LGBTQ+ community. There he meets Fabien, a close friend of his son, and begins to experience his child's world from a new perspective. As he delves deeper into this unknown scene, the boundaries between coping with grief and searching for his own identity become blurred. The encounters in the club not only open up insights into his son's life, but also confront him with his own hidden desires. The film powerfully addresses the complexity of loss, the search for closeness and the challenges that acceptance and self-discovery bring. With 7 MINUTES, director Ricky Mastro presents an intense drama that takes viewers on an emotional journey. The authentic portrayal of the characters and the sensitive staging make the film a remarkable contribution to the genre of queer cinema. A work that encourages reflection and sheds light on the complexity of human relationships.
