The film begins with a narrator, called The Scientist, making cryptic comments about humanity. He first comments that humanitys constant search for the unknown, results in startling things coming to light. But most of these new discoveries are actually quite old, to which he refers to as the signs of the ages. Later, the scene turns to the streets of a city, with the narrator commenting that each human has hisher own thoughts, ideas, and personality. He makes further comments on human life, while sounds accompany some comments. The cries of a newborn baby are followed by the sirens of an ambulance. One is a sign that a new life has begun, the other that a life has ended. This last comment starts the narrative of the film. The life which has ended is that of a transvestite named PatrickPatricia, who has committed suicide. A scene opens with hisher corpse in a small room. Within the room is an unidentified man who opens the door to a physician, a photographer, and the police. A suicide note explains the reasons behind the suicide.
