À la recherche du temps perdu (2011)
aka Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit · In Search of Lost Time
Follows a young man, Marcel, from his childhood in Combray to his discovery of social life among the upper classes.
🏳️🌈 This French television adaptation of Marcel Proust's literary classic explores high society, jealousy, and memory. It touches on heavy themes of hidden female-female attraction, closeted lesbians (Albertine's circle), and coded fluid desires, but handles them strictly as an outside psychological obsession rather than a standard GL romance.
