This long-lost masterpiece of gay erotic cinema centers on a handsome young stud who rides his motorcycle through a myriad of sexual encounters, from a soccer game's locker room to a dreamy and unsettling orgy where the film reaches its melancholic peak.
Directed with absolute grace by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa (aka Francis Savel / Frantz Salieri), this former painter was also the owner and artistic director of one of the first trans cabarets in Paris: La Grande Eugène. EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN is his only film and stands without a doubt as a masterpiece and the best French gay adult film ever made.
"In this roundelay of anticipatory departures, lusty encounters, and weary homecomings, each lone figure performing an unspoken arithmetic of desire, what one gets is an aching sense of the difficulties in keeping ourselves in sync with the ones we love." - Lawrence Garcia
"Fulfillment may be fleeting, but desire stretches on to infinity. Plus, EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN has perhaps the loveliest array of asses ever shot on celluloid." - Brian Sheehogue
