Muller, a discreet man in his late fifties has his eye on one of them - Marek. One afternoon, Muller gathers his courage and speaks to him. The young man agrees to come visit Muller the following day, at his place. However the next day, when the doorbell rings, Muller doesn't have the faintest idea that he has fallen into a trap.

Sad? What do you mean?

Why are you asking me all this?

Don't you believe me?

Of course I believe you.

First of all,

my name's not Marek.

My name's Rouslan.

That's my real name.

Why don't you believe me?

It's the truth.

Calm down, Marek, I believe you.

Rouslan!

You see?

You don't even believe

my name's Rouslan.

I have to get used to it.

Changing names isn't easy.

If you don't believe my name's Rouslan,

you don't believe anything.

That's not right.

My name, you don't care.

My family, you don't care.

The bombs, the war, you don't care.

It's all true.

I'm not joking.

How do you say in French...

You trust me.

And you...

You don't trust me.

No, forget it, I'm sleepy.

But I want to.

Cut it out.

Please...

- No, I don't want to.

- Please!

You're such a kid.

I'm sleepy.

It's me. Listen...

I don't know why you won't call.

I'm starting to get worried.

So give me a call. I'll be waiting.

Rouslan?

What's up?

What's going on?

I've done something stupid.

What have you done?

The others...

They saw my phone.

So?

They're not pleased.

Boss, he sees I have new things.

The T-shirts...

All that...

He's not happy.

Are you OK?

I'm tired.

Come and rest.

Come on, come to the office.

Go on.

You should stay here today.

No, I mustn't.

The others will suspect something.

Are you sure?

Don't worry.

You know, they're my friends after all.

Boss is a little crazy sometimes.

But he doesn't scare me.

Don't worry.

Are you sure?

Cut it out, it's OK.

I'll be here tonight.

I can do electrics.

Yes, electrics.

Finish the lights.

I can do the painting too.

I don't mean doing work here.

I mean a job.

You can't live on what I give you.

I don't know.

I never thought about that.

I live well with the others.

With the gang?

How much longer will you do that?

I don't know.

Right, I'm going to bed.

Sleep in the office if you want.

If you want.

Yes, I'd prefer that.

I've made up a bed.

But do we f*** first?

No, don't bother.

I'd prefer you to get some rest.

I'm sleepy, anyway.

What's the matter?

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

What's wrong? Tell me.

You don't want me any more.

What?

You want me to leave.

I don't want you to leave.

Don't make fun of me.

I'm not making fun.

What, then?

I'd prefer you to sleep

in the other bedroom.

That's all.

It's not a bedroom.

It's an office.

You don't want to f*** me any more.

You don't want me.

Listen...

I don't want us

to sleep together any more.

We'll make a room for you.

OK? Your room.

But I don't want to pay you.

You'll just have pocket money.

I want to know where you are,

what you do.

And stop seeing the others.

They scare me.

They scare you too.
