The film does not tell a story so much as present an essay-like study of Godard's view of contemporary life; Godard wrote that "I wanted to include everything: sports, politics, even groceries. Everything should be put in a film". Godard himself narrates the film in a whispered voice-over that discusses his fears to the audience about the contemporary world, including the Vietnam War. The film often cuts to various still shots of bright consumer products and ongoing construction.

Durant la révolte crétoise de 1897-1898, une flotte européenne (France, Royaume-Uni, Russie, Allemagne, Italie et Autriche-Hongrie) intervient et occupe les ports de l'île. À La Canée, Rosa Bonaparte, venue de Marseille avec douze prostituées, installe un bordel dans une aile désaffectée de la mairie. Le lieu devient rapidement le centre de tous les trafics et de toutes les manigances politiques. Tous les personnages, clients et prostituées, sont caricaturaux car ils incarnent des archétypes. S'ils sont inventés, le reste : flottes occidentales, bordel, etc. est historiquement vrai. Rosa Bonaparte est un hommage à M Hortense, la prostituée « retraitée » d’Alexis Zorba et donc de Zorba le Grec.

The lives of the inhabitants of El Callejón de los Milagros, in downtown Mexico City, are as closely knitted as the threads of a rug. Fifty-something Don Ru owns a small "cantina" where all the men spend afternoons playing domino. He's tired of his longtime marriage with Eusebia and has recently discovered new feelings inside his heart. It does not matter if these feelings are not aimed to a young lady but to a young clerk after all, as one of the characters says, "it's platonic love". Don Ru's son Chava does not like what he sees and almost kills his father's lover. Running away from Don Ru's anger, Chava escapes to the USA with his friend Abel who is deeply in love with beautiful Alma, the daughter of Doña Cata, a tarot reader with bad luck in love. Susanita, the ugly landlady looking for love; Guicho, Don Ru's cynical employee, Maru, Don Fidel, Doña Flor, Zacarias and mean Jose Luis complete the cast of characters of this complex portrait of lives.
