A bleak portrait of a naive young man's descent into male prostitution in Paris, exploring survival, exploitation, and the emotional boundaries he maintains amid degradation.

A good-looking but naive lad leaves his mountain village to try and make his way in Paris. He thinks maybe he will try acting but things don't go too well for him. Eventually he is forced to sell himself to men and though he meets an attractive girl she is herself a prostitute with a vicious pimp.
