Lucas est maître-nageur dans une piscine où un nouveau gardien, Martin, vient d'être engagé. Martin tombe amoureux de Lucas, qui est en couple avec Lise. L'attirance de Martin va bientôt être partagée par Lucas, qui hésite entre l'amour vrai et la compassion qu'il éprouve pour Martin, séropositif, subissant les conséquences de la maladie. Le fait que le père de Lucas, professeur de médecine, suive la maladie de Martin, n'aide pas grand-chose. Finalement, c'est bien l'amour que porte Lucas à Martin qui apaisera la fin de vie de ce dernier, entouré de l'homme qu'il aime et de Rose, sa mère.Actors
