Synopsis: A routine trick at a man's apartment propels a cynical hustler into a series of strange and life-changing encounters in this stunningly photographed drama from San Francisco-based Joseph Graham. Tall and lanky with a mop of unruly dark hair, the young man makes for an attractive prostitute - handsome in body, amiable in personality and efficient in sex. He's just out to make a buck, one guy at a time. But this coldly efficient rent boy begins to look at himself in a different way one stormy night when he finds himself lost in a maze-like apartment building. The evening begins with a tryst with a beefy but timid man unused to gay sex. Their "session" becomes surprisingly tender for both. But time is money, and he's off - that is, he'd be off if he could find the exit. His unexpected odyssey leads him to a series of encounters: there is one with a "straight" guy with issues; a cocaine-fueled queen who thinks he knows him; an older man, hidden away in a leaky attic apartment who assists h

if I had a few years off me!

I still like old guys best!

Do you ever make regular clients

of the guys you've played around with?

Nope.

Pity.

Why is that? I wonder.

I like everything new.

Oh, well... new.

Nothing in the world is new, kid.

I hate to be the one to tell you.

New to me, then.

What will you do when you've had all

your dalliances with all there is to have?

You mean, when I've f***ed

every fag in the city?

Yes.

I'll move!

The wandering hero...

That's right.

I'll go where my body takes me.

I like that.

I like the thought of you out there,

wandering around... somewhere...

...bringing pleasure to the world.

For a price.

Oh, right, right! We can't just give

ourselves away, now can we?

Nobody's that altruistic.

More like, "a man's gotta eat."

Damn right!

Pay rent.

Ah yes, the rent.

And going to school, perhaps?

Perhaps.

What?

This is nice.

Beautiful boy.

- Sam?

- Yeah?

How old are you?

"Old as the sun."

And you?

You see those?

The flowers.

Yeah, I see them.

That's how old I am.

No... No, no, son.

You're much older than those.

Your body may be young, but...

There. You see that picture?

That's how old you are.

Oh, sh*t!

Hi!

You're still here...

Yeah...

I think this place doesn't want me to leave.

I forget.

Are you "Buttmunch" or "Sassypants"?

Just Gary, alright?

Cool.

Anything I can do?

Wait, wait.

What's up?

Did you mean that?

Sure. Absolutely.

Have a seat.

Is wine okay?

Wine's great.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

So...

How about some music?

Sure.

-Yeah?

I got a really, really good playlist...

Wow...

You're really here.

When you walked into Leon's,

I was like, "freakin' wow!"

You know that feeling in your stomach?

When you've never met someone, but, you just

feel like you've known them for a long time?

This is gonna sound really crazy...

But I swear... I dreamed about you.

- We just met, like, two hours ago.

- I know.

That's the crazy part...

Or creepy.

I don't mean to be creepy.

No, no, it's cool.

What time is it?

Oh, I think it's too late.

I'm never gonna get any sleep

Do you want to go?

- Are you nervous?

- Oh, my God, yes!

It's okay.

- Do I make you nervous?

- Yes.

Why?

You're so... you're so beautiful.

To me, I...

Thanks.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Are you really a hustler?

Yep.

Did you really sleep with Jacob?

I don't know. Who's Jacob?

Dirk. Leon calls him Dirk.

Oh! Yeah...

Yeah, I did.

Do you mind if I take this off?

Yeah, I'm sorry... please, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

So... I have some money...

Great!

Do you think maybe you'd wanna...

Sure.

Okay.

So...

How much?

Depends.

What'd you have in mind?

I... um...

Uh... I really...

I really want to kiss you.

Come again?

I said I wanted to kiss you.

You're kidding, right?

No.

I'm sorry... I just...

I don't kiss.

How come?

I don't know. It's too... so...

yuck, you know... it's too...

Intimate?

Yeah.

It's too real.

Yeah.

100 bucks to make out with me.

Dude!

I'm a great kisser!

I am! I swear I am!

I'm sure you are...

But... you're a good looking guy...

You should be able to find someone who...

But... I wanna kiss you.

150? 160?

Oh! Man, are y...

What? That's gotta be more

than you made all night!

You have no idea how much

I made tonight.

- Why?

- Why what?

Why me? Why now?

And don't say because you dreamt about me...

...'cause you're right,

that is f***in' creepy!

I mean, can't we just f***?

No, I don't wanna... I don't wanna f***....

I wanna...

I wanna kiss you.

I wanna kiss you.

I wanna kiss you deep.

For like, days.

Why?

Because if you kiss me,

then I won't be alone.

You know? Like...

Alone, alone.

Five f***ing minutes!

And then you'll leave...

then you'll go, and...

I can have that...

I can have that kiss.

I can remember that kiss.

Because that kiss will be mine.

'Cause I know that you're

gonna touch my soul.

And that's really where I need

to be touched right now, okay?

Not my cock, not my hole.

Right here. Right here.

This is my hole.

And I'll pay for it.

I'll gladly... happily, f***in' pay for it.

You got your life savings in there?

Here. 200.

200 bucks.

All you gotta do is make out with me!

What if I don't "touch your soul"?

Make fun of me all you want...

I'm not making fun of you.

Dude... what if I can't?

That's a chance that I'm willing to take.

Fine.

Soul kissing, it is.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Gimme the f***in' money.

Alright.

How do you wanna do this?

Right here.

Right here?

Yeah.

Like that?

No.

What?

You're a really good kisser.

Come here.

What? What?

No one's ever kissed me like that before.

Is it okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, just...

What?

Nothing.

Feel that?

I feel that.

I feel that.

Kiss me.

Ahhh... ahhh...

Oooh... ahhhhh!!!

Ahhhhhhh!!!

Holy sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

Right?

I can't believe I came like that!

Me... Me too, me too.

Are you going to sleep?

No. I'm awake.

I can hear your heart.

I'm loving this too, okay?

But my leg's asleep!

Sorry.

Whooo!

Head rush!

Hey.

Wash up?

Thanks.

Hey!

Right here, right here!

Score...

Save that for later...

Get what you wanted?

Yeah, that's it.

I feel whole again, you know?

What?

I rise up in the current of my love.

Born high by this shower of light.

Full of you.

And lost.

And then the light reaches my eyes.

Glances off the mirror of my soul.

And I am united once again.

Did you write that?

No, but...

...but, I'm going to!

Who's this?

It's me!

Yeah, I got that from my mom's house.

It reminds me of me. I don't know...

You got me all... inspired here...

Hey, you know, you could

crash here, if you want.

No, no... um...

I gotta get going...

I gotta keep moving.

Here.

What's this?

It's a griffin.

It's magic... from the sun.

It guards the treasure...

It's good luck!

OK. Thank you.

Sayonara.

Oh! How the f*** do I

get outta this place?

Turn to your right, and then stairs to

the lobby, and, out the door!

Simple as that?

Simple as that.

Cool.

- See ya.

- See ya.
