Family ties. Paul is an artist, his current project is to take photos of the faces of men during orgasm. He lives with Martial, his lover. His sister Camille, who's running the family business, takes Paul to the hospital to see their father, who is dying. Paul hasn't seen him in six years, and all his life has believed his father thinks he's ugly and perhaps not even his child. There's no deathbed reconciliation, but subsequent exchanges of Paul with Martial and with Camille bring opportunities for growth and change to this temperamental and self-pitying young man.

[X2000] "The first morning of the new millenium. Three naked couples sleep, make love, and awake in an empty skyscraper littered with party debris. The world is slent and pregnant with new possibilities." [Truth or dare] "Four teens discover the pain and excitement of emerging sexuality while playing a harmless children's game." [Little death] "A devastating look at family relations. Paul, a young photographer who specializes in capturing men in ecstasy, hasn't spoken to his father in years. When his sister persuades him to visit his dying father in the hospital, Paul discovers that he can never escape his origins." [Bed scenes or Bedtime stories] "Seven bed scenes around various couples. A series of liberated comic sketches on sexual etiquette, unbridled passion, and post-coital after tastes."--Container
