"From the director of 'The Path to Love' comes the intimately realized story of Hervé, whose body marks him as an outsider to the younger men he desires. When he meets an attractive man online who is drawn to his difference, will a sexual encounter lead to something more ?" ( Newfest, New York, juin 2008 )
"Daring and straightforward, DEVOTEE is the story of Hervé, an assertive 43-year-old man who was born without arms or legs. He meets a gorgeous young man online, a devotee (devoteeism (or acrotomophilia) is the sexual attraction to people with amputations) who seems like he might be different. Their encounter proves Hervé’s difficulty in finding a true connection with someone who is interested in treating him like a person rather than a mere fetish." ( Outfest, Los Angeles, juillet 2008 )
