Action Vérité (1994)
Innocence gives way to experience. Two girls and two boys, probably about 14 or 15 years old, play a game of truth or dare.

Family ties. Paul is an artist, his current project is to take photos of the faces of men during orgasm. He lives with Martial, his lover. His sister Camille, who's running the family business, takes Paul to the hospital to see their father, who is dying. Paul hasn't seen him in six years, and all his life has believed his father thinks he's ugly and perhaps not even his child.
