A South American rain forest shaman travels to France for a public relations campaign. He meets Perrin, a French good-for-nothing, in a hotel elevator in Paris. He follows Perrin to his flat, and despite Perrin's displeasure with the shaman's presence, he allows the shaman to spend the night in his home. The shaman suffers a heart attack the next day after attending an official meeting as part of the PR campaign. He demands to see Perrin despite the fact that he is unable to speak and is lying in a hospital bed. The latter is uninterested in meeting the shaman again. However, it appears that it is too late for animosities, as the shaman and Perrin appear to be mentally linked in some way since they met in the elevator.
