Synopsis

Loic works in a chocolate factory outside Bulle by day and spends his after hours in Lausanne pursuing one-night stands with anonymous acquaintances made on the Internet, day after day, night after night. He has a hard time differentiating desire from pleasure, friendship from sex, admiration from success. He has vague dreams of doing something big but can't figure out what or how. In Lausanne, Marie, a childhood friend who works as a museum guard, provides Loic with a place to crash after his urban flings. Marie isn't judgemental. She refuses to be a mother or big sister or nurse to Loic. Then, one day, Loic meets Lionel, who pulls aside the curtain of anonymity and seems more interested in Loic's life than his body. Loic begins to take notice of Marie and, through her, of himself. He won't be a stupid boy anymore.
