Cela se passe de nos jours dans un petit village, quelque part entre l'Afrique du Nord et le Moyen-Orient. Les femmes vont chercher l'eau à la source, en haut de la montagne, sous un soleil de plomb, et ce depuis la nuit des temps. Leila, jeune mariée, propose aux femmes de faire la grève de l'amour : plus de câlins, plus de sexe tant que les hommes n’apportent pas l’eau au village.

Frank Ripploh se réveille. Encore nu, il va sur le palier pour voler le journal de la voisine, mais sa porte se referme derrière lui. Il doit alors demander à sa voisine de passer par son balcon pour rentrer chez lui. En classe, il raconte aux écoliers sa mésaventure du matin, en mimant le passage d'un balcon à l'autre. On le voit ensuite, en manteau de cuir, aller dans des toilettes où des hommes guettent le passage d'autres hommes en se masturbant. Il s'enferme dans une cabine où, assis, il corrige des cahiers tout en regardant par une ouverture un homme qui se caresse les fesses. Ce dernier sort, un autre homme prend sa place et introduit son sexe dans le glory hole.

Le film montre comment le cinéma hollywoodien a évoqué le thème de l’homosexualité, comment cette représentation a évolué au fil des ans et comment, en retour, elle a influencé la perception de l’homosexualité par le grand public.
