Synopsis

Thomas (Sebastien Roch) is an orphaned student making the most of his youth, beauty, and bisexuality, spending his time partying hard and entertaining lovers of both genders. His spontaneous, fly-by-night lifestyle is supported by the trust fund his deceased parents left him, and he lives with no thought of the future. Change comes when tragedy strikes, in the form of his lover Caroline's (Christine Boisson) sudden and unexpected death. She leaves behind her 13-year-old son, Gregoire (Jeremy Sanguinetti), with no one to care for him, and Thomas hesitantly takes him in, despite the subduing effects of surrogate fatherhood. Disapproving authorities step in, however, and Thomas is forced to decide whether or not to fight to keep Gregoire. This steamy and intelligent erotic drama uses a non-linear method of editing to create an oneiric sense of memory and desire. Julie Depardieu also stars.
