A provincial town in France. Jean meets his friend Berenger for a drink, but things take an unexpected turn when a rhinoceros charges through the town square. After all, there are no rhinoceroses in France, right? Suddenly, one by one the townspeople are transforming into the thing they first feared. An epidemic has taken hold and rhinoceritis is spreading like wildfire, until there are almost no human beings left. An absurdist satire about resisting conformity and holding onto what's left of our humanity as we resist the rumbling power of the herd.
