NRFF Amsterdam – Film of the Week (28)

MARK’S DIARY

Director: Giovanni Coda

Genre: Docu-drama, Experimental, Feature, LGBT

ABOUT THE FILM

Mark and Andrew are two disabled men. When they meet, an incredible attraction between them emerges but it can only flourish as a “mental construct”.  What they have is a virtual kind of love, a fantasy, but also the awareness that nothing will ever be the same again.
