Piotr est victime d'un choc frontal lors d'un accident de la circulation. S'ensuit une perte générale de son intellect. Après un coma suivi d'un traitement en milieu médicalisé, il va devoir se reconstruire au quotidien, entre les tentatives de remémorisation du passé et les nouveaux acquis qui constituent le processus d'une renaissance quasi complète. Le chemin pour y parvenir est semé d'embûches et de succès, d'espoirs et de désillusions, de joies mais aussi de peines assumées par son amie Marilyn, qui lui voue un amour intact et qui ne connaît ni résignation ni abandon.

Modern Times portrays Chaplin as a factory worker employed on an assembly line. There, he is subjected to such indignities as being force-fed by a "modern" feeding machine and an accelerating assembly line where he screws nuts at an ever-increasing rate onto pieces of machinery. He finally suffers a nervous breakdown and runs amok, throwing the factory into chaos. He is sent to a hospital. Following his recovery, the now unemployed factory worker is mistakenly arrested as an instigator in a Communist demonstration. In jail, he accidentally ingests smuggled cocaine, mistaking it for salt. In his subsequent delirium, he gets out of the jail. When he returns, he stumbles upon a jailbreak and knocks the convicts unconscious. He is hailed a hero and is released.

Gloria Mullins has been sent to her old hometown of Grimley to determine the profitability of the pit for the management of British Coal. She also plays the flugelhorn brilliantly, and is allowed to play with the local brass band after playing Concierto de Aranjuez with them, the band is made up of miners from whom she must conceal her purpose. She renews a childhood romance with Andy Barrow, which soon leads to complications. It is later revealed during a confrontation between Gloria and the management of the colliery that the decision to close the colliery had been made two years previously, and that this was to have gone ahead regardless of the findings of her report; the report simply being a public relations exercise to placate the miners and members of the public sympathetic to their plight.

Benoît et Pierre sont des amis de longue date. Benoît, besogneux et discret, travaille dans une banque et a de l'argent. Pierre, professeur de littérature cultivé et volontiers cabotin, lui en emprunte souvent. Le jour du mariage de Benoît et de Marie, qui se sont rencontrés grâce à une petite annonce, Pierre tombe amoureux de Marie. Celle-ci est moins insensible qu'elle ne veut l'admettre dans un premier temps au charme de Pierre, dont l'attirance vire par ailleurs à l'obsession.
