Henri is a lonely, isolated young man who lets no one get close to him. One day, while killing time in a train station, he meets a street hustler and comes out of his shell, going 180 degrees into gay obsession. Though he has yet to physically approach the object of his affection, Henri builds up so much unrequited lust that it explodes with horrible results.

The third feature-length film by Patrice Chéreau caused a scandal upon its release.
