This French/Brazilian co-production is a dreamy, surrealistic post-apocalypse science-fiction tale. In the strange world of the future, there are two kinds of survivors: untainted and tainted. Only the untainted are armed, and only they have access to a kind of memory playback display machine. As the film opens, an untainted man returns to his cabin, only to find a strange untainted woman there who fights him when he enters. They enter into a relationship and share memories of the time before, using the memory playback machine. A second ("Beta") woman stumbles into the cabin and upsets the precarious balance of their lives before she runs away again. They decide to search for her.
