Film Synopsis

Vincent and Olivier live an intense love affair that is threatened by Vincent's repressed nature and his inability to give in to tenderness and desire.  Olivier wants to do all he can to free his lover from his demons, but Vincent is so wedded to his past that escape seems impossible.  Since his father, an airline pilot, was killed in a plane accident, Vincent has made a career deciphering the black boxes of crashed aeroplanes.  Vincent is in such a state of denial that he cannot even see the connection between his father's death and his choice of career...
