The film was shot across four countries in eight weeks, is told in five languages and employed an international cast and crew, claiming eight different nationalities. &ME was released on March 14, 2013.
Plot
Every month the European Parliament moves from Brussels to its seat in Strasbourg. A week later everything is moved back. The unconventional love story '&ME takes place against this attempt to maintain European idealism and unity.
&ME tells the story of Eduard (Mark Waschke), a gay and disillusioned bureaucrat, who leaves Berlin for Brussels to take up a post within the European Parliament. There he meets the beautiful and idealistic young lawyer Edurne (Veronica Echegui), from Spain, who has finally escaped the clutches of her over-protective mother (Rossy de Palma). Edurne falls madly for Eduard, a handsome, sophisticated man that she can show off to the world. Eduard is happy to go along with the situation, surprised at the level of affection he feels for this young woman. He might even call it love, because love - c'est bizarre.
The attractive Richard (Teun Luijkx) comes on the scene, and is soon the focus of both Eduard and Edurne's attention. Will Richard turn out to be the glue that holds them together - or the wedge that drives them apart? And can they all, in the process, discover that elusive thing called happiness?
