The romantic illustration of a very French passion for a sublimated, mysterious Asia. A spell that is sometimes not without consequences... Paris, autumn 2008. Pierre is bored. At the age of fifty, he long ago abandoned his wife Hélène Grazziano-Benz, who is the president of the NGO Terre d'enfants, to the forefront of the marital scene. His daughter, whom he loves, and a few adventures too, without any future, colour a little the routine grey of a comfortable and secure life; cautious. His encounter with Laum, a young Laotian man, who appeared shy, cultured and curious, but also ambiguous and determined, suddenly projected him into a dazzling passion. A passion that breaks all the protective barriers he patiently surrounded himself with; all his certainties, all his prohibitions. From the hushed salons of the good French society to the deceitful calm of Laos, to the playful permissiveness of Pattaya. A liberating, jouissive revelation; an explosive and carnal fusion. The dream of an inaccessible transgression? Crooked politicians, corrupting NGOs, sexual blackmail, oriental refinement... against a backdrop of a "gay scene" in Paris and Asia. Is it safe to cross all boundaries?
