Based On the book by Robert Lepage

Far Side of the Moon (French: La Face cachée de la lune) is a 2003 Canadian drama film, directed by Robert Lepage. It is based on Lepage's eponymous play, which premiered in 2000. Set in the context of the USSR-United States Space Race of the 1960s, the film centres on two brothers, both played by Lepage, who are struggling to cope with the recent death by suicide of their mother (Anne-Marie Cadieux). Philippe, the older brother, is a doctoral student in astronomy who buries his feelings in his academic pursuits, while André, the younger brother, is a gay television weatherman who has always had a happier and easier path through life but finds himself struggling.
