Paris, été 1960, Edgar Morin et Jean Rouch s'entretiennent avec des Parisiens sur la façon dont ils se « débrouillent avec la vie ». Première question : êtes-vous heureux ? Les thèmes abordés sont variés : l'amour, le travail, les loisirs, la culture, le racisme, etc. Réalisé selon les thèses exposées par Morin dans l'article « Pour un nouveau cinéma-vérité », le film est le manifeste filmique du cinéma-vérité, un mouvement qui interroge la capacité du cinéma à saisir la réalité et qui donnera lieu à de vastes débats jusqu'en 1963.
