WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Léo (Maritaud) is a young sex worker yearning for affection. With no home to call his own and his health in decline, he finds solace in the men he meets during work, and he soon falls for fellow hustler Ahd (Bernard). However, when his affections are violently rebuffed, Léo begins to question whether or not he will ever find the love he so desperately craves…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
