“It takes a muscle to fall in love.”

DramaThriller

A recent college graduate flees to Paris after a break-up, where his involvement with a prostitute begins to reveal a potentially dark recent past.

VIBE

A detached, observational study of a young man adrift in Paris. It feels cold and clinical, exploring alienation and a chilling lack of empathy. The atmosphere is unsettling, like watching a beautiful, dangerous specimen under glass.
