Description: Acclaimed filmmaker Sébastien Lifshitz (Come Undone) presents a provocative and intensely erotic look at a group of outsiders who manage to find comfort in one another. Stéphanie is a transsexual prostitute who plies her trade in Parisian discos, parks and hotel rooms. She shares her life with two men - Mikhail, a Russian immigrant and former soldier and Jamel, a young French Arab, who also turns tricks. When Stéphanie learns that her estranged mother has become ill, she returns, with Mikhail and Jamel, to the rural childhood home she fled fifteen years ago. Her return helps deepen the unconventional relationship she shares with her two lovers and prompts a flood of memories - distant childhood loves, the death of her beloved sister, and the truth of who she once was.
