The Acrobat

In an ever-expanding but nondescript North American city, Christophe (Sébastien Ricard), a middle-aged businessman, unexpectedly encounters Micha (Yury Paulau), a Russian acrobat recovering from a horrific injury, while house-hunting. An instant attraction is quickly consummated and they embark on a torrid affair that helps each of them cope with their respective trials. In turn, Rodrigue Jean crafts a provocative, poignant drama about intimacy in an age of anonymity.
