Orphelin oublié de tous, timide et effacé, Henri entretient les lampes et luminaires du couvent où il vit depuis sa plus tendre enfance. Forcé un jour de quitter les murs protecteurs de l'institution, le jeune homme est soudain projeté dans un univers qui lui est étranger. Porté par une innocence candide, il va tenter de tirer de la noirceur les gens qui, comme lui, sont isolés. Il va surtout chercher à rallumer la flamme dans le coeur d'Hélène, la belle guichetière, celle qui vit dans un monde noir et sans lumière dont il est secrètement amoureux.

A shy and unassuming orphan, Henri has created a job to suit his unique talent: maintaining the lamps and light fittings at the convent he has called home his entire life. When forced to leave the protective walls of the institution, he is thrown into an alien environment and reality quickly overwhelms him. While he dedicates himself to brightening the lives of others, his great sadness is that he remains in the shadows. Armed only with his innocence, he helps kindred spirits, the lonely and the isolated, out of obscurity, so that he too may be recognized. Above all, he tries to rekindle a flame in the heart of Hélène, who has been living in darkness for so long.
