“I'll do almost anything for money. ...but I don't kiss.”

Drama

A good-looking but naive lad leaves his mountain village to try and make his way in Paris. He thinks maybe he will try acting but things don't go too well for him. Eventually he is forced to sell himself to men and though he meets an attractive girl she is herself a prostitute with a vicious pimp.

VIBE

A stark, unvarnished look at a young man's descent into the Parisian underbelly. It's a raw, often bleak portrayal of vulnerability and the harsh realities of survival in a city that offers little solace.
