François, cinéaste, s'apprête à tourner un film policier. Il fait passer des essais pour une scène de nu à une comédienne qui lui révèle le plaisir qu'elle éprouve dans la transgression de petits interdits érotiques. Poussé par le désir d'apporter quelque chose de nouveau dans le cinéma, il décide de mettre en scène un film mi-fiction mi-réalité, tournant autour de ce qui se révèle de façon inattendue une énigme et un tabou : les petites transgressions qui donnent du plaisir. Sa recherche dans le domaine érotique le confronte à des questions de fond auxquelles, tout comme Icare s'approchant du soleil, il va se brûler les ailes.
