Synopsis

A popular pornographer in the 1970's Jaques (played by French cinema's legendary 'poster boy',
Jean-Pierre Leaud) is returning to the industry where he made his reputation, to pay off his mounting debts. There are tragic undertones as Jaques comes to the shattering realisation that he cannot depict love on screen (real porn stars take part) and that his estranged son still hates him, contributes to the complex nature of this fascinating and provocative new film.
