Action vérité (German: "Truth or Dare") is a short film by François Ozon from 1994.

action

Two boys and two girls play Truth or Dare . One of the girls named Rose asks a boy named Paul if he has ever been intimate with a girl. He answers yes. The other girl, Hélène, immediately says it is a lie.

The other boy named Remy decides on "duty" and is supposed to kiss Rose on the mouth. He and Rose kiss. Hélène now also chooses “Duty” and is supposed to kiss Paul with tongue for ten seconds, which she immediately does. Rose also chooses “duty” and then has to lick Hélène's foot.

Hélène is now supposed to reveal whether she has already slept with a boy and promptly says yes, which Rose doesn't believe. Hélène then asks Rose if she went out with a boy named Mathieu when she was with Remy. Rose hesitates and finally says no. To wipe out Hélène, Rose asks Remy if he would do something with Hélène, which Hélène immediately denies.

Next, Hélène chooses “compulsory” and has to touch Paul at every step. When it is Remy's turn again, he should touch Paul's tongue with his tongue for five seconds. At first he refuses, but then he does it. At Remy's request, Rose should now grab Hélène in the crotch. When Rose pulls out her hand again, it's covered in blood. An embarrassed silence sets in and Hélène looks seriously into the camera.
