- Leo, a flamboyant 17-year-old teenager, is hired to dance Orpheus at the opera by Matthias Stern, 47, a choreographer famous for his iconoclastic shows. During the rehearsals, an intense desire is palpable between them. One night, Matthias gives in to the advances of the cheeky dancer. They fall in love. In secret, they embark on a honeymoon. Meanwhile, a controversy breaks out at the opera: Matthias is accused of exposing his young dancers to pornography, parents of minors have complained. And a rumor about their affair is spreading like wildfire, jeopardizing Matthias' career as well as his long-term relationship with André, son of an important patron of the opera. The choreographer is forced to distance himself from Leo, leaving the boy heartbroken, and putting his show at risk. But their voracious desire for each other does not disappear. Both of them will burn their wings while looking for the ultimate proof of love.
