High Tide

Lourenço, a Brazilian immigrant whose visa is nearing the end, finds himself heartbroken and adrift when his American boyfriend unexpectedly leaves him alone in Provincetown with fleeting promises of his return. Enveloped by the beauty and magic of the seaside community, he grows distressed by the day as his once hopeful future has dimmed into an emotional and physical state of limbo. When he meets Maurice, a kind nurse on holiday with friends who too feels out of place, they form an unexpected connection. Together, they begin to find acceptance with each other while they struggle to reconcile their uncertain futures. With its excellent ensemble cast and stunning visuals, High Tide isn’t just Lourenço’s story, as director Marco Calvani weaves a colourful tapestry of queer lives intersecting on the beaches of one of North America’s quintessential gay destinations.
