Gerard Depardieu is Lafayette, a young man who works as a lighting technician in New York City for a feminist group of performers who abuse him for their own amusement. However, Angelica, the woman who "rapes" him, does so tenderly and becomes his girlfriend.
Lafayette's unencumbered life changes when he finds a baby chimpanzee inside the remains of a huge King Kong-like mannequin on the beach and treats the monkey like a daughter, even obtaining birth certificate for her. However, the monkey raises doubts in Layfette about parenthood and survival. For Flaxman, a Roman wax museum owner who fantasizes that he lived in the time of Cesar, the monkey triggers the terror of man's possible regression into an animal state. Luigi and elderly asthmatic man who can't get a date, hopes that the monkey will teach him how to survive his lonely final years. But life soon becomes dark again as Layfette discovers "barbarians are at the gate." Catastrophe becomes inevitable…but not apocalypse as a new generation brings fresh hope.
