Switzerland, 2004. 94 minutes.

Loic's life is as structured and orderly as the lines on a sheet of music paper. By day, he works in a chocolate factory, and by night he indulges his sexual desires, one after the other. But one day, he decides to do something exceptional, something 'really new'. He's not yet sure what this will be but he already starts saving money by reducing his food intake popping stomach pills to suppress his appetite. But all this changes when the young man makes two chance encounters: first, with a strange man from McDonald's, and second, and more importantly, with Rui, the local star football player. Thanks to these new acquaintances and to Marie's perseverance, Loic is forced to re-examine his life and ultimately ends up changing… Loic isn't a stupid boy after all…

Hidup Loic sangat terstruktur dan teratur seperti garis-garis pada tablature. Di siang hari dia bekerja di pabrik coklat, di malam hari dia melampiaskan gairah seksualnya dari satu pria ke pria yang lain. Pada suatu hari dia memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu di luar kebiasaannya. Dia sendiri belum yakin hal ini akan mengarah ke mana, tapi dia mulai menabung dengan mengurangi jatah makannya, dan untuk menahan lapar dia mulai mengkonsumsi pil-pil anti sakit perut. Semua berubah ketika secara kebetulan dia bertemu dengan seorang pria aneh dari McDonald, dan tentu saja dengan Rui, seorang pemain sepakbola lokal. Berkat dua pertemuan ini Loic dipaksa untuk meninjau kembali hidupnya dan dia mulai berubah... Loic bukan lagi seorang pemuda yang tolol.
