Six réalisateurs emblématiques de la Nouvelle Vague revisitent Paris à leur manière, échafaudant des fictions au coeur des quartiers de la capitale. Tandis que Jean-Daniel Pollet vagabonde Rue Saint-Denis, Jean Rouch s'intéresse à la Gare du Nord, Jean Douchet à Saint-Germain des Prés et Eric Rohmer à Place de l'Etoile. Jean-Luc Godard hésite entre Montparnasse-Levallois, alors que Claude Chabrol préfère La Muette.

It is the day that Antoine (Jean-Claude Brialy), a Paris advertising man, is to marry the lovely Gisèle (Marie Laforêt) and his best man Julien (Claude Rich), a divorced statistician, tries to talk him out of it with tales of the hard times he had from women, ending in entrapment by his stunning secretary Denise (Catherine Deneuve), a professional virgin. Going into a bistro for a quick drink before they drive to the wedding, the owner Fernand (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a retired villain and pimp, tells the two of his exploits that ended in marriage to pretty but pushy Sophie (Marie Dubois). Antoine decides to run for it, taking one of the tickets for the honeymoon in Greece and giving the other to Fernand. On board ship, he falls for the delectable Sandra (Françoise Dorléac), a professional confidence woman, who cleans him out of his money but in the end agrees to marry him. Fernand comes back with an old millionairess, former brothel owner, who drives a Rolls. At the wedding of Antoine and Sandra, Julien falls for a sweet brunette.

Adaptation moderne des Bacchantes d'Euripide. Un moderne Penthée célèbre son anniversaire. Cependant, il hallucine et ce qu'il voit finit par lui faire douter de sa propre santé mentale. Dionysos est absent en tant que personnage. Il est incarné par le film lui-même dont les scènes d'hallucinations et le montage achronologique évoquent la façon dont un moderne Penthée est rendu fou par le dieu. Le film refuse toute forme de narration.

This musical drama sweeps through a turbulent 40 years in popular singer Marika's (Sotiria Leonardou) life – and in the history of Greece – starting with the singer's birth in Smyrna, Turkey in 1917. Marika was deported to Greece along with all the other Greeks in Smyrna when she was seven years old, and a few years later, her parents started a career as a musician and a singer in a nightclub/bar. In the short space of one decade, Marika witnesses her father murder her mother, runs away from home, has a baby, and comes back to the nightclub to sing in an act with a childhood friend and a bouzouki player, Babis. Success finally comes at the expense of the suicide of another female singer at the club (named Rosa), but then Marika's childhood friend is exiled for political reasons, and she and Babis leave for other venues. Although Ninou carries a torch for Babis, their relationship never seems to work out, and after many years and World War II go by, she sends her daughter away to a convent school and goes on a tour in America. She then returns to Greece to find herself supplanted by a younger singer named Matina who has caught the attention Babis. Marika eventually dies in an accident during Mardi Gras and is buried by the people she sang with as they sing in her memory at the cemetery.
