2069, an erotic year if ever there was one, but a fateful year for a king without a crown. On his deathbed, an old song takes him back to distant memories: trees, a burnt pine forest and the moment when the desire to become a fireman, to free Portugal from the scourge of fires, triggered another desire. Then a prince, Alfredo, meets Afonso. Of different origins and skin colors, they meet, help each other and the lexicon of abuse becomes blackened with desire.
