Drama

Arriving from all over the Eastern Bloc, the men who loiter around the Gare du Nord train station in Paris are scraping by however they can, forming gangs for support and protection, ever fearful of being caught by the police and deported. When the middle-aged, bourgeois Daniel approaches a boyishly handsome Ukrainian who calls himself Marek for a date, he learns the young man is willing to do anything for some cash.

VIBE

A hauntingly bleak and atmospheric dive into the underbelly of Paris. It's a raw, unsettling character study that lingers long after the credits, exploring themes of desire and desperation with a stark, unflinching gaze.
