Daniel is a popular comedic actor who spares nothing sacred, boldly mocking all sensitive societal topics. He has a loving wife, Isabelle, huge fees, buys a house in Spain, and gets a dog. It seems he has everything for happiness. But first, he will meet a new love, and then curiosity will lead him to a sect that, sensing the nerve and need of contemporary people, offers them something they cannot resist. We will meet a series of cloned descendants of Daniel and other people. Their lives are calm, prosperous, and... endless. But not everyone can bear it.
