Jerzy Skolimowskis roadmovie tager os med på en rejse gennem det moderne Europa – som det opleves af filmens langørede titelkarakter. Efter at æslet Eo bliver smidt ud af det cirkus, hvor det er vokset op, indgår det som pakdyr på en bondegård. Men Eo stikker af og begiver sig ud i verden. Undervejs møder æslet både gode og ubehagelige mennesker – der repræsenterer forskellige facetter af det moderne Europa – men det mister aldrig sin uskyld. Verden er et mystisk sted, set gennem et æsels melankolske øjne, og den unikke, gribende film handler ikke mindst om menneskehedens tåbeligheder og vores forkvaklede forhold til dyr.
