Eighteen-year-old Rémi goes to a casting where the director appears to be drawn to his acting as much as his physique. Confused by his first experience, Rémi wanders around Paris in search of himself.

“Lensing captures plenty of local color for an unmistakable parisian feel.”

Variety

“An unusually sensitive portrait of late adolescence with its half-formed desires and the tug of war between sexual curiosity and reticence.”
