HIGH TIDE (U.S. Centerpiece)
A Brazilian emigrè and an American hunk fall in love amid the beach splendor of Provincetown
Description
As the season comes to an end on the shores of gay mecca Provincetown, a Brazilian drifter and a sensitive American hunk he meets on the beach begin to fall in love. As their relationship grows deeper, HIGH TIDE reveals itself as a complex and inventive narrative about how issues like immigration and race can come between lovers. Deeply attuned to the local idiosyncrasies of its town and community, the film is filled with frank discussions about taboo subjects like interracial sexual objectification and queer alienation. Buoyed by its sterling ensemble, including Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei (MY COUSIN VINNY), film and theater veteran Bill Irwin (RACHEL GETTING MARRIED) and Independent Spirit Award winner Mya Taylor (TANGERINE), HIGH TIDE will leave you longing for the halcyon days of summer.
