Synopsis

In a small town, people are inexplicably turning into rhinoceroses. One man, Bérenger, initially resists this strange transformation, finding himself increasingly isolated as his friends and colleagues succumb to the herd mentality. He must confront his own identity and the absurdity of conformity before he too is swept away.
