A sex worker, tenderly portrayed by Félix Maritaud (‘Knife+Heart’ and ‘120 BPM’), doesn’t care about money or moving up in the world. The film credits him as Leo, however, he remains unnamed throughout—anonymous, homeless, without a family and in wretched health. He is incapable and unwilling to separate feelings from sex, and he needs as much from his clients as they need from him. He is driven by an insatiable and undiscriminating desire for intimacy and the right to love and be loved.
