CGiii Comment

Made for €5,000...

A sparse budget and a sparse film...minimal dialogue, minimal story, minimal lighting.

It would have made a better short...countless scenes of monotonous domesticity (in partial darkness) accompanied by bouts of silence...you'll be sound asleep in next to no time.

As for the ending...well, the profound feeling of being cheated is overwhelming...especially, coming from an under-whelming film.

The(ir) Blurb...

Sebastian, a young male prostitute, is one of Georgs few remaining chances to break through his hermit-like everyday life in exchange for a few fleeting moments of being together with someone at least for a few hours...
