Paris, in the near future. Marc and Hans are two thieves who owe money to an uncompromising American woman who gives them only two weeks to pay. They plan to steal and sell a new antidote to cure a virus similar to AIDS, which is killing those who 'practice love without love', but they need an accomplice. They recruit Alex, alias "Fast Tongue", a rebellious boy who has just broken up with his 16-year-old girlfriend.

The film, which features one of the most iconic scenes in 1980s cinema with music by David Bowie, is both a love story and a tale of loneliness, fear, betrayal, friendship and death.
