Chark, un aventurier européen, arrive dans une bourgade d’un pays imaginaire d'Amérique latine, situé près de la frontière avec le Brésil, et où sont exploités des gisements de diamants. À ce moment, une révolte se prépare. Les prospecteurs de diamants, spoliés par l’État et dépouillés de leurs biens par le capitaine Ferrero, un despote corrompu, se préparent à attaquer la garnison gouvernementale. Chark, accusé de vol, est conduit à la garnison et incarcéré, mais il parvient à s’évader. Les prospecteurs attaquent la garnison mais l’armée envoie des renforts et l'attaque échoue. Les rebelles doivent fuir. Chark se joint à certains d’entre eux : Castin, un vieux prospecteur français que les diamants ont enrichi ; Maria, sa fille sourde-muette ; Djin, une prostituée que Castin voudrait épouser ; le père Lizardi, un prêtre missionnaire. Pour ce faire, ils s’emparent du bateau d’un trafiquant à la solde des militaires qui les trahira rapidement. Les fugitifs doivent abandonner le bateau et partir à pied dans une jungle touffue. Dans cet environnement hostile, les fugitifs ne savent pas exactement où aller. Ils ont l'intention de rejoindre le Brésil, mais leur situation devient de plus en plus désespérée. Alors qu’ils sont perdus, Chark part en éclaireur et découvre, au bord d’un lac situé à la frontière du Brésil, les restes d'un avion qui s’est écrasé en forêt récemment. Mais Castin est devenu fou ; il tue la prostituée puis le père Lizardi avant que Chark le tue à son tour. Chark et Maria essaient de gagner le Brésil dans un canot pneumatique.

The film consists of several thematically linked scenes: five gatherings of a group of bourgeois friends, and the four dreams of different characters. The beginning of the film focuses on the gatherings, while the latter part focuses on the dreams, but both types of scenes are intertwined. There are also scenes involving other characters, such as two involving a Latin American female terrorist from the fictitious Republic of Miranda. The film's world is not logical: the bizarre events are accepted by the characters, even if they are impossible or contradictory.
