Breaking Glass Pictures’ QC Cinema Label to Release Gay Romantic Comedy ‘Alex and Leo’ on DVD

Breaking Glass Pictures has announced the April 5 DVD release of Ives-Yuri Garate’s directorial debut “Alex and Leo.” The German language, gay-themed romantic comedy — which stars Marcel Schlutt (“Otto; or, up with Dead People,” “Unfaithful”) and premiered at the 2010 Philadelphia QFest — will be released under Breaking Glass’ QC Cinema film label.

The film begins on a Berlin summer day, when a chance encounter brings together two young men whose lives are in shambles. Alex (André Schneider) is coping with a broken heart after his deadbeat boyfriend cheats on him; Leo (Schlutt) is a media professional who can no longer hide the truth from his demanding, long-term girlfriend: he’s been attracted to men all the while.

So begins a summer of love and self-discovery for Alex and Leo. But before they can find bliss with each other, Alex must detach himself from his ex and Leo must unleash his “inner lion” to convince Alex’s oddball clique of friends that he’s a worthy suitor. “Alex and Leo” is a heartwarming romance whose international backdrop, colorful characters and irreverent humor will delight audiences around the world.

DVD extras will include outtakes and an alternate trailer.
