Stephane comes along to help her cope with her disapproving parents, and things get complex when Alex decides to show up at the wedding as well. Screenwriter Andreas Vatiliotou told Liam Lacy of Original Cin “…the throuple within our film is bisexual and so it’s two men and a woman, and so I think sexuality plays a role in their relationship. The men in this film are with the woman and with the men…I know, in some cases of a throuple or polyamorous relationship, perhaps the woman is with each man, and the men aren’t together. In this case, all parties are sort of involved.” I COME HOME premiered at the 2026 Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival in Toronto.
