A tender, melancholic portrait of an unlikely romance between two men in 1990s Paris, where intimacy and connection deepen against the shadow of AIDS and mortality.

At once an intimate chronicle of a romance and a sprawling portrait of life in early 1990s France following the intertwining journeys of Jacques, a worldly Parisian writer, and Arthur, a curious, carefree and much-younger university student who is just beginning to live. Brought together by chance, the two men find themselves navigating a casual fling that gradually deepens into a tender, transformative bond.
