Sinossi
Paris 1916- Vincent is 16, 'as old as the century'. With almost every able-bodied young man away at the front, Vincent is approaching manhood very much 'in the absence of men'...In his relationship with the soldier son of one of his parent's servants, who subsequently dies on the batlefront, he explores his sexuality; his platonic relationship with the middle-aged Jewish writer, Marcel Proust, stimulates an intelligence and sophistication remarkable in an adolescent; and with both he enters a world of love, and the final loss of what remains of his childhood innocence. Set in the very recognizable world of Proust's Paris, 'In the Absence of Men' is a remarkable act of homage to a great writer.
