Épopée, L'état du moment (2011)

Marco is living with his sugar. To get his drugs, he's juggling with his dealer's paranoia and the whims of the older man. Meanwhile, Ron has to bring back money to his boyfriend to feed their habit but a deal with his john goes wrong. Later, we find him dancing to the sound of the traffic. Marco and Rob are out of crack and money. In haste, they contact a client who has particular sexual habits. Dany sleeps rough and collects leftover objects he then sells to buy beer. Once drunk, he tries unsuccessfully to find a place to rent. Papi, an older john and drug user, begs on the street in winter. Back at home where he lives with a younger sex worker, he lives by the phone where he negotiates endlessly with his pusher to keep up with their crack use. Finally, Melody, who's trying to live as a woman, is heckled when she tries to sing a song about childhood on a karaoke night. This film traces a geography of the soul of ten men whose spirit flickers above the contemporary wreckage of life.
