Twenty-two year-old gay hustler Leo (Félix Maritaud, whom you might recognise from 120 BPM) works the streets of Strasbourg but yearns for a deeper connection than fleeting transactional ones. He thinks he’s found this with fellow sex worker Ahd. But Ahd makes it abundantly clear that he’s strictly gay for pay.

French writer/director Camille Vidal-Naquet‘s realist feature debut has been widely praised for Maritaud’s raw performance and the tenderness beneath its unflinchingly explicit depiction of the nuts’n’bolts of sex work.
