The film portrays their harsh existence living on the bridge with Hans (Klaus Michael Grüber), an older vagrant. As her vision deteriorates Michèle becomes increasingly dependent on Alex. When a possible treatment becomes available, Michèle's family use street posters and radio appeals to trace her.

Louis Coline (Gérard Lanvin) is an executive assistant in a declining Paris department store. While he is not ambitious and has little to do, he is content with his wife Nina (Nathalie Baye), visits to his mother and grandmother and nights out with his friends playing poker. However, the manipulative Bertrand Malair (Michel Piccoli) becomes the store's new manager, and arrives to shake up the company. Louis fears for his job, but Bertrand draws him into his inner circle of confidants. Bertrand starts to control Louis' life, while Louis is afraid of losing his privileged position. To maintain it Louis works overtime, accepts Bertrand's invitations to nightclubs and dinners with an androgynous woman, and places his house at Bertrand's disposal. Nina sees through her husband's behaviour and objects, but Louis cannot refuse Bertrand's demands, and she is unable to make him see how much his personality has changed. Desperate, she leaves her husband, which only draws him further under Bertrand's control.

Dans l'île de Noirmoutier, un écrivain et son épouse s'installent dans un fort, où ils vivent en réduisant au minimum les contacts avec la population. La femme a perdu l'usage de la parole après un accident. Le mari est écrivain. À proximité vit un ingénieur retraité, misanthrope. Des faits troublants se produisent. Plusieurs habitants de l'île semblent perdre le contrôle d'eux-mêmes. Les réalités s'entremêlent : l'écrivain trouve un sujet pour un roman fantastique, tandis que l'ingénieur manipule les îliens à distance grâce à une machine de son invention. Les deux hommes se rencontrent pour une partie d'échecs capitale : le démiurge réel du monde imaginaire joue contre le démiurge probablement imaginaire du monde réel. L'enjeu et la fin de toute chose, c'est à la fois l'amour et la mort.
