The story begins in the year 2069, as the king lies on his deathbed, remembering incidents from his youth, including the time he abandoned the monarchy to become a fireman. The rest of the film is about as confusing as that summary makes it sound. There are some interesting moments and some well-choreographed dance scenes, but not enough for me to recommend this film.

Paul (Loic Djani, pictured) is on holiday at the seaside in Greece. He sees a man who becomes his erotic obsession. He watches him from afar, returning the same time the next day to watch him again. He has dinner with a friend and tells him about this man he’s been watching. It really didn’t seem like enough to fill 24 minutes. Not particularly recommended, although you could certainly do worse.
