The Queer Lion Award pays tribute this year to “The World To Come”, the extraordinary, sensitive movie directed by Mona Fastvold and winner of last year’s 14th edition.
In the artwork by Francesco Gangemi, Abigail and Tally happily enjoy one of the most romantic and carefree moments of their romance.
The World To Come by Mona Fastvold
1850: in a farm in the State of New York, Abigail and Dyer just lost their only daughter to diphtheria. Still grieving, Abigail meets Tally and her husband Finney, her new neighbors. The two women thus form an increasing bond of intimacy and passionate devotion. Once their husbands start to understand the intensity and nature of their relationship, the situation soon gets out of control.
