In 1960s Paris, beneath the soft glow of streetlamps and the scent of overripe citrus, Rody Lamorre drifts between cigarette smoke, hallucinations, and half-finished thoughts of his dead ex-girlfriend. He waits tables at La Gueule de Saturne, a bistro as mysterious and refined as its owner - Vincent, a man with a dark past, a beautiful knife collection, and a lemon tree growing in his apartment upstairs.
Rody doesn't know Vincent killed Manon.
Vincent doesn't expect Rody to survive the grief.
Neither expects to fall into something soft and terrifying - love, maybe - that grows slowly between slices of brioche, drunken confessions, and nights when the rain won't stop.
But when ghosts return - ex-lovers, buried mothers, and brutal fathers - both men must decide whether their pasts define them... or if, somehow, something real can still bloom from the rot.
A story of food, longing, and quiet survival, The Lemon Tree Above La Gueule de Saturne is a slow-burning, queer Parisian gothic about healing in strange kitchens, loving in secret, and learning to kiss in the rain.
