Being at Home with Claude est une adaptation cinématographique de la pièce du même nom écrite par le dramaturge René-Daniel Dubois. À Montréal, un soir d’été lourd, où le jazz se marie à la sueur et à la foule, Yves tue Claude et se livre à la police. Ce film nous fait revivre les dernières heures d’un interrogatoire qui dure depuis trop longtemps. L'inspecteur qui mène l'enquête va essayer de reconstituer les faits et d’éclaircir les motifs qui ont mené un prostitué à tuer un de ses amants. Derrière le fait divers se cache une quête d’identité, un questionnement intérieur. À travers Yves nous reconstituerons les faits, mais aussi ressentirons les émotions qui depuis des semaines, des mois ou des années ont mené cette passion à l'inévitable dénouement. 1, record 4, French, - Being%20at%20Home%20with%20Claude
