Jacques Nolot

A tale set in a decaying Parisian porn theatre, where within its dark confines, male patrons--soldiers, transvestites, married men--regularly engage in anonymous sex acts. In the ticket booth of the theatre, a wise Italian woman serves as benevolent gatekeeper, observing--but never judging--the proceedings occurring under her watchful eyes. One day, one of her regulars engages her in a conversation that leads to an unusual friendship, as these two worldly souls share their common experiences.

Return to the native country. Jacques had gone to Paris ten years ago. He became an actor, he could freely love men. Today, he comes to assist his mother who will die. He lodges with his aunts Aimée and Jeofrette and reconnects with the past and the gossip of the village.

Set in a cafe which has become the hangout for a group of unhappy and frustrated men, this slice-of-life film follows them as they complain to one another about their lives, discuss their options, and generally quarrel and suffer.
