Storyline

A provincial town is the stage for Subversion where Giacomo Ferreri, a young and stunningly beautiful immigrant, tries to integrate himself into society by accepting all the shit jobs the French refuse to do. He gets a little money on the side at the end of the month by exchanging his charms to one of his sex-mad bosses, the son of the local notary, even the notary himself, against a menu of presents that recompense the mediocrity of his day-to-day existence and brighten up the miserable chalet where he lives, deep in the woods. His prowess for sex in all directions irritates the local Judeo-Christians and their moralizing lot. The offerings build up, his life gets better and a meeting with a fashion photographer suddenly allows him to afford a future with more promising horizons. Subversion is a social commentary without concession where these actors uncover their charms and realize their maddest fantasies in eleven particularly subversive scenes.
