Up! Plot Summary

What happens in Up! from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The Greek Chorus, Kitten Natividad, opens the film with a provocative narration that recurs between scenes, nude except for long black boots, reminding viewers of the film’s brazen tone while quietly guiding the audience through shifting plots and lurid details.

A man named Adolf Schwartz, Adolf Hitler in hiding, lives in a Bavarian-style castle in northern California. He is introduced in a scene that blends dark humor with unsettling decadence, an orgy in the dungeon involving [The Headsperson], [The Ethiopian Chef], Limehouse, and Paul, after which Schwartz is murdered when a ravenous piranha fish is slipped into his bathtub. The killer’s identity remains ambiguous for a moment, and the film’s tone shifts from shock to a sun-bleached surrealism as the story moves forward.
