Ruthlessly discarded, Gobi, a young single-use cup, suddenly finds himself plunged into a particularly hostile world: an urban jungle inhabited by strange creatures—waste. Convinced he was abandoned by mistake, he is determined to find Marie, his owner... even though he can’t move!

Through a series of leaps in time from the 1970s to a post-Anthropocene future, we follow in the footsteps of a mysterious creature.

Cucu lives with her mother. Tonight, it is her father's turn to babysit. Except, Arnaud is more used to rave parties than pyjama parties. When it is time to go to bed, Cucu wants her father to read her a story. Arnaud refuses, pretending he is useless at reading. He then starts improvising an impossible love story between Sissi the Empress and Hercules the half-god.

Peace reigns between Terrorists and Policemen, in a secluded and strange Hotel. Useless for the first time, they fight against boredom while the world around them slowly crumbles.

Robinson and Theresa form a couple in crisis, who are reclused in the countryside with their two children, preparing for the collapse of the thermo-industrial civilization. The lack of desire and future perspectives make their lives impossible until they find a strange mushroom in the forest, whose aphrodisiac properties lead them to reconnect to each other. Unfortunately, soon they cannot live without it.

After being thrown into an urban jungle full of waste, the single-use cup, Gobi, searches for his owner, Marie. Along the journey, through bizarre vet touching encounters, he becomes aware of his condition and the absur-dity of humanity, rediscovering the meaning of his own existence.

A journey beyond time, from an ordinary apartment toward our final destination, guided by Charon, the ferryman of Hades. The horizon is the same for everyone, ineluctable, inevitable. The question is, in every era and in every civilization, always the same: what is there afterwards, is there at least something?
