France, 99
Screenwriter: Camille Vidal-Naquet
Cast: Félix Maritaud, Eric Bernard, Nicolas Dibla
This is a harrowing and erotic tale of 22-year-old Leo, a male prostitute who searches for love while trading in sex. Constantly in danger and frequently taken advantage of, he wanders through his life without rules or restrictions and manages to survive on the streets. After stumbling through a series of encounters, he thinks he has found his soul mate and protector, his hustler friend Ahd. But Ahd prefers the stability he finds in the arms of a wealthy, older client. Will Leo also follow the same path and choose stability, security and comfort when it comes along, or will he choose freedom – and danger – on the streets?
