Theo and Hugo, two young men, meet at a Paris sex club. One of the most beautiful, daring gay sex scenes of the past few years follows.
What begins as sensual lovemaking charged with carnal attraction evolves into an unexpected nightly journey.
Deciding to spend the rest of the night together, they cycle back to Theo's apartment through the romantic, empty streets of Paris. Yet their night together changes dramatically when it becomes clear that they had unprotected sex, and one of them is HIV positive.
This tale of romance has captured the heart of audiences at the 2016 Berlinale, where it won a Teddy Award.
Renowned directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau have skillfully constructed an intimate, magical love story. And no doubt you will be absolutely enamored with Geoffrey Couët and Francois Nambot, so much so that you'd wish their journey should never end.
Viewing is restricted to ages 18 and older due to explicit sex scenes.
