In Copenhagen in 1962, a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer, Boris Kusenov (Per-Axel Arosenius), defects to the West with his wife and daughter after a chase through the streets to the US embassy. In Washington DC, CIA agent Mike Nordstrom (John Forsythe) debriefs him and learns that Russian ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads are to be placed in Cuba. Needing physical evidence of the missiles, he contacts an old friend, French agent André Devereaux (Frederick Stafford), at his house in Georgetown. Nordstrom discloses Kusenov's name to Devereaux, asking him to bribe Luis Uribe, a member of Cuba's U.N. delegation, to provide photographs of documents confirming the missile bases in Cuba (knowing that Uribe hates the United States and would never cooperate with an American agent). Devereaux decides to accompany his daughter Michèle (Claude Jade) on her honeymoon with journalist François Picard (Michel Subor) as a reason to go to New York City. His wife Nicole (Dany Robin) is worried and tries to dissuade him.

L'action se déroule dans un pays imaginaire, l'Eldorado, qui offre, cependant, des similitudes avec le Brésil des années 1960. Au plus fort d'une époque en crise, le poète Paulo Martins est écartelé entre ses aspirations politiques et sa passion artistique. À l'agonie, il évoque, à présent, son parcours. Il a servi deux leaders politiques. L'un, Dom Porfirio Diaz, l'a protégé, utilisant son talent littéraire à des fins de pouvoir. Pourtant, Paulo Martins le trahit pour rejoindre ses adversaires politiques groupés autour de Don Felipe Vieira, dirigeant populiste et démagogique. Après son élection comme gouverneur, Vieira, confronté à l'inconsistance des promesses faites aux paysans pauvres, finit par utiliser Paulo Martins à des fins policières. Désabusé, le poète se replie sur lui-même et sur ses premières amours avec une fiancée bourgeoise présentée, autrefois, par Dom Porfirio Diaz, commettant une infidélité à l'égard de Sara, militante de l'autre camp... Mais, Sara et ses camarades l'enjoignent et le convainquent de les rallier à nouveau. Il trahit une seconde fois Diaz et de façon plus grave. Ce dernier réussit, cependant, à être couronné. Quant à Paulo Martins, « sa quête conjointe de la "justice et de la beauté" le vouera donc à un destin de déchirure, de trahisons successives de lui-même et de ses amis (et de ses amantes), et finalement à ne pouvoir dépasser l'horreur et le dégoût que dans la mort et le sacrifice.

A brilliant and driven scientist, Jake Terrell, and his young and beautiful wife, Maggie, train dolphins to communicate with humans. This is done by teaching the dolphins to speak English in dolphin-like voices. Two of his dolphins, Alpha ("Fa") and Beta ("Bea"), are stolen by officials of the shadowy Franklin Foundation headed by Harold DeMilo (Fritz Weaver), the supportive backer of the Terrells' research. After the dolphins are kidnapped, an investigation by an undercover government agent for hire, Curtis Mahoney (Paul Sorvino), reveals that the Institute is planning to further train the dolphins to carry out a political assassination by having them place a magnetic limpet mine on the hull of the yacht of the President of the United States.
