| Staring: |
| A routine trick propels a tall, dark, cynical hustler into a series of life-changing encounters in this drama. But this amicable and sexually efficient rent boy begins to look at himself differently when he finds himself lost in a maze-like apartment building. As he wanders through the building, he tricks with a variety of johns; sex is the commonality, but out of that commodity comes raw, unguarded emotions for all. | |

Trending Position
Quite an interesting tale of an handsome young hooker (Benjamin Bonenfant) who finds himself caught up in an architectural equivalent of an Escher drawing - he can't seem to find his way out! Whilst searching, he has a series of almost surreal encounters with various characters who need a variety of ... forms of sexual satisfaction. The ultimate encounter, rather unexpectedly, offers him some satisfaction of his own - physical and emotional - as he comes to terms with his own frailties. It's done on a shoestring, but classily and with some style. There is some nudity, but nothing gratuitous - it's a search for self, and actually works quite well.
