Summer Night Longing

With his age of 68, Erich thought he lacked nothing in life. However, this summer, when he discovers a different side of himself, he comes into conflict with oneself. In order to address the questions arising from this conflict, he is forced to question and rediscover his entire self. When a young man repeatedly crosses his path, his intellectual world goes topsy-turvy. Can a younger man be interested in an older man, or was he just imagining things? A longing arises, taking more and more posession of him.

When Eric Lassard fell in love for the first time at the age of 17, this feeling, which was new to him, hit a 60-year-old heterosexual man. Not only that he was gay, but also that he had fallen in love with a man so many years older, upset his world. Step by step, he discovered a hidden world within the gay community where younger men had an equal fondness for older men. This world with older men and all who like this is now easier to find. Still, stereotypes predominate the gay media when it comes to younger and older men; the man next door is not depicted. Gay novels and erotic literature are mostly about young men, well trained of course and following beauty ideals. Eric Lassard tells of men from the age of sixty, graying in honor, who are dacor with their age, appearance and nature and enjoy their sexuality. For anyone who discovers the small details of age and appreciates these aesthetics. For anyone for whom intimacy with an older man is a pleasure.
