In the near future. A new, higher developed species called "Sharkies" has pushed humans to the brink of extinction. Marie and Robert, two of the last few survivors, are on the run from the new rulers of our planet. They find a camera that still works. Marie sees this as a sign of good fortune. She tries to convince Robert to record a last statement of humanity addressed to posterity, whatever its form. Robert grudgingly accepts. He knows that, wherever they go, they run the danger of being eaten alive. When they finally seem to get round to recording, the story takes an unexpected turn shedding a new light on the "Sharkies" as the new pride of creation.
