A rare exploration of the underlying sexual tension between two close male friends, Atomic Age charts the evolution of burgeoning youthful sexuality over the course of one night in Paris. Victor and Rainer are typical young French hipsters on their way to Paris, swigging Red Bull, bantering about the Stone Roses, and musing about what awaits them. Checking into a club, Victor hits on the girls, while Rainer spikily rebuffs the advances of a male admirer. Testosterone surges, bravado leads to a face-off...just another night on the town. Until it's not. This stunningly shot character study perfectly captures what it's like to be young men, fumbling their way through a sexual awakening, whilst negotiating the delicate bonds of friendship.
