In a bleak, futuristic city, the Tuvache family runs a prosperous shop selling everything needed for suicide. Their grim business is threatened by the birth of their youngest son, Alan, who is inexplicably and incurably cheerful. His relentless optimism and joy begin to infect the miserable customers and even his own morbid family, threatening to ruin their livelihood.
