Zurich in the 1970s: 16-year-old Beni falls in love with Fögi, the lead singer of a local rock band ten years older. One day Beni manages to come backstage as a (auxiliary) roadie and speak to Fögi. To Beni's surprise, he actually gets involved in a relationship, but can't cope with Beni's huge hunger for love. He cheats, becomes indifferent, and consumes more and more drugs. He humiliates Beni, who even goes on the street for him. In the end, both want to take the golden shot in the south of France - Fögi dies, Beni survives.
