Paris 05:59
Director:
Olivier Ducastel, Jacques Martineau
Théo and Hugo encounter each other’s bodies in a sex club. They talk, things blur into the haziness of unbridled desire. Later the two men feel the need to go outside. Together they drift down the deserted streets of nocturnal Paris. Suddenly they find themselves confronted by a sense of reality that wipes out their freedom and lends each step an existential helplessness. Do they want to know more about each other? Will their trust be rewarded? What are their expectations?
