Other Sleep

STANDING ON THE parapet of a bridge, in the heart of Paris, a little boy is afraid; his cousin Claude is holding him by the ankles above the murky waters of the Seine. This becomes a backdrop to Denis' memories as a young man of a childhood marked by sadness. Within him, a struggle is taking place between the sheer wild joy of being alive and the despondency of existence. And it is in Paris, a Paris exquisitely etched, that his unspoken passion for Claude gradually unfolds.
