A mysterious man, who calls himself Cain, withdraws from the world masquerading as a holy man and brings with him a young girl, Innocence, promising that they will soon reach paradise, where Monsieur Nature reigns. The non-narrative story is an allegory follows the adventures of a man in a cat-mask. He is seen, variously, rescuing people or raping women, or tenderly reassuring a young girl. In short, he is an unpredictable element. He joins forces with someone (Sterling Hayden) who is taking a raft around the world, or maybe out of the world. Highlights of the film are the short scenes which appear with their color the right way 'round.

The key characters in The Big Departure are M. Nature / The Leader (Sterling Hayden), Mona Lisa (Anne Wiazemsky), Caïn (Gilles Raysse).

The Big Departure is a Drama, Fantasy film.

The Big Departure has an audience rating of 6.1 out of 10.
