Sauvage
Everything is for sale, including a 22-year-old man's body, in French writer-director Camille Vidal-Naquet's sexually explicit yet tender first feature. Handsome hustler Leo (Felix Maritaud) works a stretch of road with fellow male prostitutes including friend Ahd (Eric Bernard), who is blessed with the financial support of a sugar daddy. The hustlers cater to the desires of lonely old men but rarely engage emotionally with clients, treating each encounter as a transaction to keep a roof above their heads. Leo is more sensitive than many of his bed-hopping brethren and he nurtures an unrequited attraction to Ahd. As Leo navigates a series of lurid encounters, he begins to shut down his emotions like the other hustlers and acknowledges that intimacy and affection must be faked for the right price.
