À Paris, Philippe, quadragénaire tout juste libéré de prison, noue des liens amicaux avec le Kurde Avdal lancé sur la piste d'un criminel irakien. Le souhait d'Avdal est de s'établir en France et il attend la venue de sa fiancée Siba. Mais Avdal décède subitement d'une crise cardiaque et c'est à Philippe qu'échoit l'organisation de ses funérailles. Démuni, Philippe n'a d'alternative que de faire incinérer le corps. Siba arrive à Paris, est prise en charge par un groupe de Kurdes et, apprenant la disparition d'Avdal, désire rencontrer Philippe, l'ami dévoué de son fiancé. Mais l'arrivée de Siba est suivie par celle de Cheto, le père d’Avdal, qui vient chercher la dépouille de son fils et s'effondre lorsqu'il découvre que le corps a été incinéré. Les cendres du défunt vont provoquer bien des bouleversements : l'imposante urne funéraire hante le studio de Philippe avec le fantôme d'Avdal. Philippe transvase les cendres dans un pot en verre qu'il remet à Cheto, mais celui-ci, empêtré dans ses convictions religieuses radicales, laisse le pot à la garde de Siba. Jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne, un soir, lui demander de le lui prêter, comme pour avoir l'âme de son fils auprès de lui. Finalement, les cendres d'Avdal, en partie dispersées dans l'air de Paris, vont être comme un signe du destin qui fera avorter le projet de Cheto de forcer Siba à rentrer au pays pour la marier avec son autre fils et libérera la jeune femme de l'emprise religieuse pour recommencer une nouvelle vie en France.

But the relationship between the two friends soon becomes strained as Bimbo and his wife, Maggie behave more and more like typical bosses.

The van is closed down because of poor hygiene by health inspector, Des O'Callaghan. Bimbo thinks that Larry told the Health Board about the van, leading to a fight between the two. Larry quits the job, despite Bimbo's best efforts to get him back. Bimbo then drives the van into the sea, so as to win his friendship with Larry back.

The film, set over the course of four consecutive New Year's Eves from 1964 to 1967, depicts scenes from each of these years, intertwined with one another as though events happen simultaneously. The audience is protected from confusion by the use of a distinct cinematic style for each section. For example, the 1966 sequences echo the movie of Woodstock using split screens and multiple angles of the same event simultaneously on screen, the 1965 sequences (set in Vietnam) shot hand-held on grainy super 16 mm film designed to resemble war reporters' footage. The film attempts to memorialize the 1960s with sequences that recreate the sense and style of those days with references to Haight-Ashbury, the campus peace movement, the beginnings of the modern woman's liberation movement and the accompanying social revolt. One character burned his draft card, showing a younger audience what so many Americans had done on the television news ten years before the movie's release. Other characters are shown frantically disposing of their marijuana before a traffic stop as a police officer pulls them over, and another scene shows the police brutality with billy clubs during an anti-Vietnam protest.
