Film Synopsis

Beni has fallen in love with Fogi, the lead singer of a rock band.  Fogi's rebellious nature appeals to Beni's desire for freedom and gives him the strength to live outside the milieu from which he hails.  So intense and all-consuming is Beni's passion for Fogi that he loses sight of who he really is.  When he realises that Fogi is on the brink of a physical and moral collapse, Beni tries to hold on to his love and is confronted with the most difficult decision of his life...
