Switzerland 2008, 11 min, language: French, subtitles: German
Timid Thibault, made neurotic by his omnipresent mother and overly motivated psychoanalyst, loves women and hates football. At the latter's advice, he makes plans to meet his dream woman at the EURO 08 in Geneva. He starts up a male escort service by the name of 11 hommes sur la touche, or 11 Men on the Sideline. Pictures of 11 attractive men, including his own, are posted on the Internet, and he invents a special talent for each. Thibault hopes to meet women who have been abandoned by their football-crazed husbands. But his only score is pretty Yelda, a dedicated fan of the Turkish team.
