After Radical (2020) and Pollution (2022), where it was respectively a question of the far right and ecoanxiety, the Frenchman Tom Connan this time focuses on describing the financial exploitation of the body and sexuality. Paul is unemployed, squeezed by inflation and the housing crisis. To get out of this situation which is untenable for him, the 24-year-old Parisian chooses to bet on his “pink capital” by becoming a sex worker. “His flesh and his features constituted the last ramparts against social decline, by virtue of an indestructible telluric force which kept him alive. » Thanks to his numerous clients, real and virtual, Paul immediately saw his income explode. But when, under the influence of anger, filthy actions are committed, a real descent into hell begins. In a terribly lucid tone that evokes Sade, Dustan, Wilde, Houellebecq and Easton Ellis, this Faustian fable powerfully crystallizes the despair and deceitfulness of our time.
