Astrakan 2022
1h 44m | Drama | Release date: February 8, 2023 (France)
Storyline:
David Depesseville takes a largely observational approach to the story of young Samuel (Mirko Giannini), a traumatized orphan on the cusp of teenagehood trying to adjust to life with his new, rural foster family, headed by the overwhelmed but sympathetic Marie (Jehnny Beth) and the violent Clément (Bastien Bouillon). With an elliptical approach, Depesseville gently touches upon Samuel’s difficulties coming to terms with his remote substitute parents and brothers, his sexual awakening with the girl next door, and, most disturbingly, the improper attention Marie’s troubled brother seems to devote to the boys. With a gentle, unhurried, but compelling style, Depesseville transports the viewer into the boy’s mundane world, while, in a bold stylistic move, also offering the possibility for the child’s spiritual transcendence.
A quick and early morning piss and j/o in the shower starts the day for one of the cute guys as he returns to bed for a sweet taste of his bed-mates meat. He mounts and penetrates to unload another juicy delight. Checking into a hotel for some room service, stroking, sucking and thrusting continue this excitement. A little rope is used to keep one of the fun boys in place for a threeway that leads to a cum-filled reward. The guys are young, hairless and great-looking.

Meanwhile, the girls surrounding Robin find them impossible to pigeonhole, much to their frustration, but one, Izzy (Lacey Oake), sees an opportunity for experimentation.
