Out French director Sébastien Lifshitz (Come Undone) returns with this winner of the 2004 Teddy Award for Best Feature Film at the Berlin Film Festival. Sylvie, a big-city transgendered prostitute, returns to her rural birthplace to be at her dying mother’s side. Along for the experience are her soulmates and lovers, Mikhail, an illegal Russian immigrant who speaks little French, and Jamel, a young Arab hustler. As days go by, the three are flooded with memories of their often painful early years and the surprising circumstances under which they met.
