After the death of his mother (Emmanuelle Riva), the epileptic Aden Rey (George Shannon) flees to the desert in order to avoid any police questioning, as they believe that he was responsible for his mother's death. It is in there that Aden meets the savage yet noble Marvel (Hachemi Marzouk). While the two men bond over their travels, Aden tries to convince Marvel that civilization is much more desirable than the wilderness, although Marvel appears to disagree. During all of this, the police continue their relentless pursuit of Aden.

DVD Talk gave a mixed review, saying that the movie would appeal most to fans of surrealist cinema and that "Some of its graphic nature may have dulled over time, some not, and it is a bit heavy-handed, but it still holds up as an interesting work for those open to the distinctive surrealist storytelling style."[4]
