A wealthy widow, an enthusiastic patron of the fine arts, invites a group from New Orleans to enjoy a pleasant time on the water, discussing art. Gathered on board the yacht Nausicaä are a famous writer prone to practical jokes, a cynical and melancholy critic, an unsociable sculptor, an exalted artist, a refined and hopelessly single connoisseur of beauty, an emancipated girl, her skilled brother, a bootlegger, his muse, and several other people who conveniently complete this idle wandering freak show. The pleasure cruise quickly spirals out of control: the men resort to whiskey, innocent flirtations develop into unrequited passion, some guests disappear in broad daylight, others run the yacht aground, and the rest, out of boredom, turn their sublime leisure into a complete farce. It seems that only the local mosquitoes, inhabitants of the coastal swamps, are happy, as they get to feast on the fresh blood of New Orleans bohemians...
