Four Faces of Family, Four Screams For Life.
Divide into four chapters: Son, Daughter, Father and Mother, “Four Windows” is a look inside the brains of your not so normal German family. The very handsome and sexy Son leaves for school in the morning only to spend his time cruising the local gay video arcade. There he hooks up with an older man who refuses to give the Son all that he wants.
Meanwhile, Dad is hiring a hooker, Mom is flirting with the handyman and Daughter, perhaps the most outrageous of all, is riding the subways, looking for someone to share some intimate moments with.
All come together at dinner that night where the secrets they hold come to a head in this provocative and involving film.

Two Men Fighting Society And The Right To Love
Paris, 1968. After a failed attempt to gain national acceptance for gay rights Marc finds himself adrift, dealing with the joys and agonies of being gay at a time when homosexuals had no place in society. In a park pick up, he meets Andre and they begin a relationship that will last off and on for the next three years. Andre is a small town factory worker who is not sure of his own sexuality. He turns to Marc to fill a need he knows he has, but sticks to his claim that he will marry later in life. Their passion is heated but is also tempered by Marc’s fierce advocacy for gay rights, a fight that will lead him to butt heads with his father, a Paris police officer.
Made as an homage to the FHAR, the Front Homosexual d’Action Révolutionnaire, the first gay rights movement if France, Ma Saison Super 8 is a touching testimony of an important moment of contemporary French history.
