The film tells the life of the famous dancer and spy Mata Hari.

A man dressed in a long black cloak and provided with silver hair roams the streets of southern Italy sentencing the end of the world and prodding the word of God to all who cross his path. His presence attracts the attention of a local TV station, which, sniffing around, decides to run a special on this individual on New Year's Eve, the very moment when the man says life on the planet will end.
