Heterosis, a virus that turns gay men straight, tears through the Parisian scene and topples Jim from Pride royalty to social outcast — a premise so gleefully absurd it can only be satire with teeth.

Synopsis
When Heterosis – a mysterious virus that turns gay men straight sweeps through the Parisian gay scene, Jim, the six packed sovereign of the Gym Queens, goes from Pride royalty to social outcast. With only Lucien, a freshly-out twink with more heart than abs, still by his side, Jim must race to find a cure before the disease erases the community that once worshipped him.
Our Review Editorial
Heterosis, a virus that turns gay men straight, tears through the Parisian scene and topples Jim from Pride royalty to social outcast — a premise so gleefully absurd it can only be satire with teeth. With only Lucien, a freshly out newcomer with more heart than abs, still standing beside him, the film runs on farce, panic and a genuine ache about who gets loved once the crowd moves on. At eighty-five minutes it moves fast and hits hard.
For viewers who like queer comedy with a barbed edge — camp on the surface, serious feeling underneath — this should land squarely. Expect brisk pacing, sharp jokes about gym-floor hierarchy, and an odd-couple friendship carrying the emotional weight. Anyone who prefers social commentary played literally may find the conceit too wild, but if allegory at full volume is your thing, it is a warm-hearted, very funny late-night pick.
