影片的主人公是由朱丽安·摩尔饰演的琳达这位40岁未婚的大龄女青年，她在宾夕法尼亚州的小镇过着平淡乏味的高中英语老师生活。而当她从前最喜欢的学生杰森以一个失败剧作家的身份从纽约回到小镇时，她的生活发生了意外的变化。她说服这位学生和她一起去制作一部未完成的舞台剧，但是计划发生了一些偏差……。Bipedalism, or 'two-footed walking', is the story of a painter who grew up in an orphanage and only years later learns the circumstances of his father's disappearance and death. Childhood memories bring the main character back to the past: he buys a house in the suburbs that used to belong to his family. In the basement, he finds his father's archives and scientific research documents on the hybridization of human race with related biological species. Studying the archive material, he unexpectedly finds evidence of efforts to renew the experiments on the remaining hybrid population. The painter then becomes a researcher, and consequently a victim. The basic idea of his father's research was to change, control and influence the process of human evolution - initially connected with eugenics theories of the period before World War II, and now being placed in a context of modern 'biotechnological' expectations by his former colleagues. The main character tries to recreate and realize his father's heritage, who was forced to cooperate with state terror organizations, using the results of his secret research. In a tragic manner, this information turns into the main character's reality, at first forcing him to reappraise his father's values and later driving him to madness.
