Marie (Anne Wiazemsky) has grown up with her donkey Balthazar, but they are parted when Marie is gang-raped and dies. Balthazar is now passed from one owner to another. At one point, Balthazar becomes a circus star, and, later, he goes back to tilling the soil. Through good times and bad, Balthazar's life parallels and intersects with that of his owners–some of whom adore him while others mistreat him.
