After leading
God's Own Country, inarguably the best gay film ever,
Josh O'Connor is set to lead
Luca Guadagnino's
SEPARATE ROOMS adaptation of
Pier Vittorio Tondelli's novel. He will play 30-something Leo who travels across Milan, Paris, London and Florence, while Thomas is a young Berlin-based pianist who is temporarily living in Paris when he first intersects with Leo. After meeting in Paris, the lovers begin a long affair, meeting and traveling together in different European cities over a three-year period. The two meet when they wish, but live separately, secluding themselves in their respective loneliness, though they

often write each other. At one point, Thomas starts an affair with a girl, which makes Leo deeply jealous. Then Thomas is diagnosed with an illness that will lead to his death in his hometown of Munich.
