Details

In the movie Love Is Strange directed by Ira Sachs, Ben and George, a long-term gay couple, finally tie the knot. However, their joy is short-lived when George loses his job as a music teacher at a Catholic school due to the school's policy against same-sex marriage.

With limited financial resources, the couple is forced to sell their apartment in Manhattan and find cheaper housing, which proves to be a challenging task. They are compelled to temporarily stay with friends and family while navigating their new circumstances. This separation puts a strain on their relationship and has a profound impact on their loved ones.

The movie showcases the emotional toll that societal discrimination and economic hardships can take on individuals and relationships.
