Tete, a nine-year-old boy, is obsessed with women's breasts and with breastfeeding. He becomes jealous of his baby brother who is breastfed by their mother, and begins searching for the perfect pair of lactating breasts to feed on. Estrellita (Mathilda May), a beautiful French dancer, arrives in town as part of a travelling performing act, and Tete fixates on her.
