Esta história se passa em uma pequena cidade na planície húngara. Em uma cidade provincial, que é cercada com nada mais do que gelo. É tempo muito frio - sem neve. Mesmo neste confuso frio centenas de pessoas estão em pé ao redor da tenda de circo, que é colocar-se na praça principal, para ver - como o resultado de sua espera - a principal atração, a carcaça empalhada de uma baleia verdadeira. As pessoas estão vindo de todos os lugares. A partir dos assentamentos vizinhos, mesmo de muito longe as partes do país. Eles estão seguindo esse monstro desajeitado como um mudo, sem rosto, pano vestindo multidão. Este estranho estado de coisas - o surgimento dos estrangeiros, a geada extremo - perturba a ordem da pequena cidade. Ambiciosos personagens da história acham que podem tirar proveito desta situação. A tensão crescente com o insuportável é trazido a explosão, a figura do príncipe, que está fingindo ausência de face.

An American art dealer (Miguel Sandoval), who specializes in southwestern topaz, arrives by train in Liverpool. Similarly, a very proper British art dealer (Alex Cox), who specializes in African art, arrives in the same hotel. The two meet in the hotel's abandoned restaurant and decide to set off in finding an evening meal, which becomes problematic immediately when the Brit reveals he is vegetarian. While following their pursuit of a mutually acceptable meal, the main point of the film is their discourse en route to their various attempts at an eatery.

Against the barren wintry backdrop of a psychiatric hospital, inpatients and authority figures drift through turgid psychological states. We meet the artist Jean and his lover Monica, patients of the facility, and several characters circling its periphery: a guard, an Episcopalian priest, and a church organist. Minimalizing dialogue and plot intricacy, Tregenza concedes only kernels of information, demanding that the viewer breathe dimensionality into his archetypes. Acting out primal instincts of lust, envy, fear, and love, subjects teeter vulnerably on the brink of sanity and insanity, freedom and repression in their attempts to navigate their existence.

The Arc above all is a road movie, and a journey, a modern day odyssey, not dissimilar in mood and tone to Antonioni’s existential trips through the disembodied sensibilities of his characters.
