It's 1992. Martin is 17 and he films his daily life with his Hi8 camera. He films anything and everything—his room, the world around him... But never his father, the thought doesn't occur to him. One day he meets Dominique. He's 23 and works as a student monitor at Martin's high school.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1992 sits at the AIDS crisis tail end in France, when gay identity was becoming visible but still dangerous—Martin's closet isn't just personal, it's historical.
The 25-minute runtime mirrors a Hi8 tape side—Doncque literally built the film around physical format limitation as narrative constraint.
