一個關於狂想者日常生活之激情的墜落。故事從一個太空人「哈爾」（Hal）突兀的出現在黃昏的荒廢港口碼頭開始。另外三個無所事事的水手也遊晃到碼頭來，慾望的流動充滿了孤寂的碼頭。《激情》的場景原型來自德國導演法斯賓德(Rainer Werner Fassbinder)於1982年的最後電影作品《霧港水手》(Querelle)，也挪用了包括法斯賓德、法國電影新浪潮代表人物高達（Jean-Luc Godard）以及早逝的服裝設計奇才麥昆（Alexander McQueen）等人的作品意象；它同時指涉了肉體愛慾的激情與藝術家之於創作的激情，當激情停止了，一切的趨力也跟著消散。那又是什麼足以讓激情停止？它就如同死亡一般，肉體與慾望的動能再也無法抗衡眼見的外在世界，遺留下的只剩空蕩與班爛的想像。
