CGiii Comment

Young, dim, country lad goes to Paris, minus money, plus dramatic ambition...and, the rest, as they say, is...predictably pedestrian...the allure of prostitution beckons...gay for pay, of course.

It's a series of encounters - all rather unpleasant...

The main problem with the film...all the characters are numbingly dull and vacuous. You won't care if they live or are tortured to death.

The(ir) Blurb...

A young man leaves his native town in southern France to discover Paris. Being too unexperienced and too naive, he drops into the reality of Paris 1991. He soon gives up his dream of becoming an actor and prostitutes himself. Throughout all these modern relationships, he keeps his innocence but becomes very emotionally blocked.
