Vincent and Olivier have an intense, rocky relationship: Vincent evades tenderness, just as he does desire, forcing the couple to hunt for a third partner to participate in their sexual games. Olivier has a background in the theater. He believes in, but is preoccupied by their relationship; he wants to free Vincent from the ghosts haunting him. But Vincent is locked into the past. His father, a pilot, was killed in a plane accident. Vincent’s job is a strange, uncommon one that plunges him deep into contemplation from which no one can make him budge: he deciphers plane disaster recordings. Vincent’s unconscious repression is so powerful that he hasn’t even recognized the link between his father’s death and his work. It will take the stormy encounter with Olivier for Vincent to obtain his ‘black box.’ Indeed, the two young men come to life through their connection with each other, a connection which shatters the framework of typical love stories.

El rey "Carlos V más Tres son Ocho y Ocho Dieciséis", domina de forma tiránica el reino de Taquicardia. Solamente un pájaro, risueño y parlanchín, que ha construido su nido encima de la torre del palacio, se atreve a plantarle cara. El rey está enamorado de una pastora encantadora que, surgiendo de una de las pinturas del palacio, se personifica cada noche para encontrarse con el deshollinador que sale, por su lado, del cuadro vecino. El rey quiere casarse con ella, pero la chica a quien ama de verdad es a su humilde enamorado. Ambos deciden escapar del rey y se esconden en la cima de la torre más alta del palacio, donde salvan a un pajarito imprudente que ha quedado atrapado en una de las trampas del tirano. El pájaro rebelde, agradecido por este acto heróico hacia una de sus crías, promete ayudarlos en su huída.
