Charlotte works in a record store. After an encounter with a Charlie Parker fan, she is irritated. Her life suddenly seems conformist and meaningless, her relationship with her boyfriend and her parents superficial. At night, she meets the musician Leonard Blau in the subway car wash and falls in love with him. Leonard is different from all the others, full of secrets and crazy ideas. Leonard Blau is an outsider who doesn't want to fit in. He often offends his fellow human beings and causes a lack of understanding. He himself is increasingly unsettled by this because he is plagued by fears whose origins he does not know. But there is an angel watching over him, the angel looks like Allen Ginsberg. Charlotte quickly senses that something is wrong with Leonard, but she loves him and wants to live this amour fou.
