RATING 4.5 out of 5

Reviewed by Roghadal Saint-Michel (Toronto, Canada)

[Alert: Contain spoiler]  In a nondescript part of France, a lakeshore becomes a playground for homosexual encounters. The lead, Franck, routinely heads to the area and hopes to find a long-term relationship among the various men participating in anonymous sex.

A mysterious man, Michel, tall, dark and handsome (a very Castro Street circa '70s-look) catches Franck's attention and pursues him after befriending a new regular, Henri, who in turn is a brooding, recently divorced man.
