A group of French high school students travel to Naples on a school trip to explore the ruins of Pompeii and the bodies buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. There, a sudden sense of vertigo takes hold of them. One by one, theysurrender to desire and anger until they are completely consumed by them.
