The Escort
“He'll be your friend, he'll be your lover, but it's strictly by the hour.”
Drama
Fleeing from his wife in France to London, 45-year-old Pierre is barely able to support himself. He meets friendly Tom, who offers to help him make ends meet by working as a male escort.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at a man adrift. It feels like a cold, damp London evening, where vulnerability meets harsh reality. The film is a slow descent into a world of transactional relationships and a search for solace.
