1h 44min | Drama | 19 November 2003 (France)

Storyline:

German filmmaker Vincent Dieutre is accompanied by a close friend’s teenage son on a trip to Berlin and in the process reminisces about his life as a gay man in his 2003 autobiographical documentary entitled Mon Voyage d’Hiver (My Voyage in Winter).

My Voyage in Winter was selected for inclusion into the Forum Program of the 2003 Berlin International Film Festival.
