Young gay man Franck (Pierre Deladonchamps) spends his summer days at a secluded lakeside shore, which has become a regular haunt for like-minded men hoping for a liaison. Here he meets Henri (Patrick d'Assumcao), a keen voyeur of the goings-on, who warns him to steer clear of the mysterious yet captivating Michel (Christophe Paou). Despite these warnings, Franck finds himself growing more and more attracted to Michel and even after witnessing first-hand the extent of his unrestrained rage, his feelings toward him never falter.
