Screened in Un Certain Regard at Cannes, this controversial and compelling film centers on a sensitive young gay writer who is arrested at his favorite cruising ground and held by the police for intensive interrogation. The questioning quickly transforms into an unwanted run-through of his tumultuous life, seen in flashbacks: his childhood, parents, school, first sexual experience, and politics. His seductive manner begins to alternately fascinate and repulse the policeman, who is drawn to the complexities of pleasure and pain.
