In this secular sermon, Alain challenges the great bourgeois promise that everyone can find happiness in love and work and suggests that we take on the joys of pessimism instead. … Indeed, in denying a place for misery and despair, the modern world denies us the possibility of collective consolation, condemning us instead to solitary feelings of shame and persecution.

Richard works as an exterminator in a city overrun by cats.
One night he encounters a strange feral boy and finds himself caught up in the struggle to save the boy from the fate of a hunted animal.
When the cat-boy starts brutally attacking his co-workers, Richard uncovers his own animalistic urges and finds it increasingly difficult to maintain his position on the food chain.
