Drama Leo is 22 and sells his body on the street for a bit of cash. The men come and go, and he stays right here - longing for love. He doesn't know what the future will bring. He hits the road. His heart is pounding.

	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"The fact that Leo never lets go of his ability to give or receive love is part of the complexity of a character who keeps you watching even when the drama seems plotless and aimless."
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Camille Vidal-Naquet's straightforward but impressively, well, savage debut is a powerful portrait of a gay male prostitute"
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"Harrowing (...) The film achieves a sort of grace, in moments of sweetness and stillness"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Maritaud moves his body with such taut precision — and occasional joy — that you feel like the character is blessed with an unknown measure of control"
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"An incredibly frank and involving immersive portrait impressively anchored by an in-every-frame performance from Félix Maritaud."
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The bought-sex scenes, with their ricochets of violence, robbery and vulnerability, are candidly presented (...) Maritaud’s performance has power (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
