Martial (Daniel Auteuil) is discharged from a mental institution where he spent a few years due to a serious nervous breakdown. During his hospitalization, he ceases to speak with everyone, including his wife Régine (Thérèse Liotard), whom he had encouraged to find a new partner soon after entering the clinic. Upon his return, he finds his mother (Danielle Darrieux), a busy business woman who owns a supermarket chain. She's convinced that her son, who by now hardly talks to anyone after his experience, will be able to find himself again if tasked with some responbibilities. Soon enough, he's sent to Limoges on a business trip to check on one of their stores in the hope to reinvigorate its failing business. Once he arrives, Martial is faced with responsibilities he had never imagined, including dealing with the store's personnel. Due to his lack of people skills, this job is a difficult task. Meantime, as instructed by his mother, he checks on the accounting handled by the manager, Mr. Fonfrin (Jean-Pierre Marielle), and he soon realizes that the reason for the branch's close-to-failure status is that Fonfrin is padding the books. Due to his inability to take charge for anything in life, Martial fails to perform his duties and instead befriends the crooked manager, who invites the naive heir to join him and his wife (Dominique Lavanant) for dinner one night. He immediately falls in love with Francine (Sandrine Bonnaire), the maid, an eccentric young woman with whom he has a brief relationship. Martial unconditionally showers her with all kinds of gifts, as this is the first time in several years that he feels close to someone; it is a short episode that makes his dejected life momentarily look brighter. He lets his work fall behind for her but, unfortunately, the romance doesn't last long and, upon his return to Paris, he is deemed incompetent and re-admitted to the hospital.

John "Dingo" Anderson vit au fond du bush australien, loin de tout. Un jour, un jet privé transportant le trompettiste de jazz légendaire Billy Cross (Miles Davis), de même que ses musiciens, se pose au milieu du désert australien, entre deux concerts internationaux, pour réparer une avarie. Billy Cross improvise alors un petit concert au milieu du désert pour quelques spectateurs privilégiés qui se trouvent là par hasard. John Anderson tombe instantanément sous son charme, et se prend d'une passion pour le célèbre trompettiste et sa musique. Il aspire dès lors à jouer au moins une fois en duo de trompettes avec son idole, devant le public averti d'un club de Jazz parisien. Presque arrivé à l'âge de trente-trois ans, plusieurs années après avoir croisé pour la première fois le grand trompettiste, il se décide enfin à partir pour Paris, dans l'espoir de concrétiser son rêve. Pour ce faire, il devra toutefois tirer Billy Cross de sa quasi-retraite.
