In 1981, Bruno, Isabelle and Nicolas are 20 years old. It's the time of their first loves. But it's also the time of AIDS…

They're carefree, full of hope and enthusiasm… They dream of love, but it's death that strikes first, as Isabelle is killed in a terrorist attack. Her fiancé Bruno is seriously injured. Nicolas, who must somehow come to terms with his sister's death, decides to become Bruno's co-parent in raising Jérémy, Isabelle's child.

Although Nicolas is gay, Bruno isn't. But they form a relationship that tests the boundaries of friendship and love. Surrounded by their families, friends and Jérémy, together they must face the opinions of others and man's stupidity.
