Black Heaven

Gaspard is a young man who leads a visibly carefree life in the South of France, enjoying a sunlit simplicity that feels almost fragile in its ease. His world shifts the moment his new girlfriend Marion discovers a stray mobile phone left behind in a beach changing room. The device belongs to a mysterious figure known as Dragon, and its messages are directed at a person named Sam, a detail that pulls Gaspard into a web of secrets he never invited into his life. The last message points to a scheduled meet-up, a date that promises a mix of danger and possibility, and Gaspard and Marion decide to attend, hoping to understand what’s unfolding.

When the date arrives, they indeed encounter both Dragon and Sam, and what follows reshapes the trust between them. Sam is revealed to be a beautiful young woman whose real name is Audrey, a fact that immediately draws Gaspard toward her with an intensity that unsettles his relationship with Marion. Instead of handing the phone back to Dragon, Marion and Gaspard choose to shadow Audrey and Dragon, stepping deeper into a mystery that will test loyalty, desire, and control.

A DIY-store detour leads the couples to a secluded, deserted corner at the end of a dirt road, where the story turns increasingly dark. Marion and Gaspard momentarily lose sight of Audrey and Dragon, only to find them again amid a moment of tragedy: Dragon and Sam/Audrey attempt suicide using a plastic snake and Dragon’s car as the means. Marion and Gaspard rush to intervene, but Dragon dies in the attempt while Audrey survives, gasping for air as Marion performs rescue breaths until the paramedics arrive. The incident leaves Gaspard scarred and wary, and though he remains with Marion, a growing obsession with Audrey silently gnaws at him.

The emotional tremor from that night echoes in Gaspard’s life as he continues his relationship with Marion, yet finds himself fantasizing about Audrey. A new thread appears when another message on Dragon’s phone reveals that Dragon and Audrey were active in an online game called Black Hole. Sam is revealed to be Audrey’s in-game avatar, a connection that pulls Gaspard deeper into Audrey’s world and into the virtual realm where identities blur and danger feels almost personal.

A second chance encounter brings Gaspard face-to-face with Audrey again, an encounter that reveals a real-life tattoo—on her lower back—that reads “heaven.” This clue intensifies Gaspard’s search for Audrey’s alter ego in the game, driving him to locate her within Black Hole. He discovers Sam once more, this time in a virtual private club, a space where the boundaries between the real and the digital begin to crumble. In this night inside the game, Sam baths in a private moment, skinny-dipping at her house, while Gaspard and his friend pursue her presence from the shadows.

As the virtual romance progresses, Sam and Gordon—Gaspard’s own in-game avatar—strike a perilous pact: Gaspard must hurt his real-life girlfriend for Sam, who will then share a night with her “savior,” Gaspard, in the real world. Gaspard undertakes the grim task, and Marion is left devastated as he ends up pushing the relationship to a brutal breaking point. Audrey’s presence complicates everything, and when she chooses not to be intimate with him, she instead spends the night with Ludo, the friend Ludo rather than with Gaspard. This betrayal widens the fracture within Gaspard, leaving him hollow and furious.

The spiral intensifies as Gaspard returns home to find Audrey’s brother, Vincent, already inside, revealing a far darker obsession: a fascination with suicide and a chilling manipulation that uses his sister to lure others toward fatal ideas. Vincent’s revelation reframes everything Gaspard thought he understood about Audrey—and about the danger lurking behind the digital veil. The plan to reach Sam through Black Hole continues, but Vincent’s control over Sam through the game makes every attempt to connect with Audrey feel perilously weaponized.

A confrontation at Audrey and Vincent’s apartment unfolds, and Vincent overpowers Gaspard, dragging him onto the roof with the intention of ending him. Audrey draws Vincent’s attention by leaping from the roof herself, a move that shatters the immediate threat and confirms Audrey’s death in that moment. Realizing the gravity of his sister’s death, Vincent ceases his pursuit.

In the aftermath, the next morning finds Gaspard and Vincent at the police station, their fates tangled in a web of guilt, fear, and absolution. Marion, who had once seemed a steady harbor for Gaspard, embraces him with a softness that suggests forgiveness, even as the events behind them remain haunting and unresolved. The story closes on a note that lingers—an ache for what was lost, a reminder of how digital fascination can spill into real life, and how fragile the line between desire and destruction can be when it’s drawn through the code of a game and the people who inhabit it.
