The story begins at 4:27 AM in an underground gay sex club in Paris, where (Geoffrey Couët) and Hugo (François Nambot) meet and engage in a long, unsimulated sexual encounter. After leaving the club, they discover that their encounter involved unprotected sex while one of them is HIV-positive. This revelation shifts the film from a physical romance to an urgent medical drama as they visit a hospital for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). As they wander the deserted streets of Paris until 5:59 AM, they confront their budding feelings and the realities of modern queer life. Key Themes and Style Paris 05:59: Théo & Hugo (2016) - IMDb
