Gamins d'Auvergne

2006 · 96 min ·

Loosely based on the late nineteenth century gay German photographer Wilhelm Von Gloeden, this latest release from Liquid London transports you back to a time when sex between young peasants was an expected way of life before marriage. Von Gloeden captures the erotic passions of his many employees; chimney sweeps, farm boys and shepherds are transformed through his photographic lens in Greek Gods. Starting in 1919 with the return of Von Gloeden to his beloved studio, left in a hurry before the war,the film follows the poetic reminiscence of a man devoted to male beauty. Gamins d'Auvergne re-awakens a bygone time of blissful innocence with total frankness.
