The film centres on Daniel (Olivier Rabourdin), a successful if solitary middle-aged Frenchman, who cruises the Gare du Nord railway station and solicits a handsome young foreigner Marek (Kirill Emelyanov). After arranging to meet at his apartment, Daniel's world is upended when someone else knocks on his door, triggering a series of incidents that completely erode his wellbeing and security. Aesthetically bold, audaciously constructed and unafraid of provocative truths about masculinity and sexuality, EASTERN BOYS has a ripped-from-the-headlines relevance to some of the most important issues facing modern Europe.
