Synopsis

Freddie is a short film that combines biographical and experimental elements to portray the double life of the exceptional talent Freddie Mercury.

Freddie Mercury gets a ghostly visit from his double in his dressing room, which brings Freddie’s fears to light and this visit is going to test him.
Freddie Mercury has rarely committed during his lifetime to his illness and sexuality – onlytowards the end of his career. The short film wants to show that you don’t owe an outing to anybody, until one accepts himself and his fears, as it has been the case with Freddie Mercury.
