Comme un frère
France, 2005. 55 mins. Water Bearer

Upon leaving his small French town and moving to Paris, 18-year-old aspiring actor, Sebastien reinvents himself, changing his name to Zack – the lead character in his favourite American television show. Every night Zack cruises the city's most fashionable gay bars in search of love, yet in spite of several sexual and emotional encounters, he is left unfulfilled. When his old friend, Romaine contacts him and informs him that he will be coming to Paris, Zack's unrequited feelings are rekindled and he is suddenly faced with some big decisions.
