When Thomas - 24 years old, musician, part-time student - strips off his clothes in a park at midnight, and takes out his flute to play in celebration of midsummer just as if he were Orpheus of ancient times charming the natural world about, he has little notion of the consequences that might follow. He is spied by the wily Belsa - sports car enthusiast and part-time mother -- who wants him to play his flute while still gloriously unclad at the nearby cemetery in which her partner is buried, and accordingly explore an underworld of hidden motivations. Together they embark upon a journey into the realms of mass hysteria, self-sacrifice, and millennial fervour.
