Marius and Jeannette live in the same working-class apartment complex in Marseille, in close proximity with their neighbors. The lame Marius is a security guard at an abandoned cement works, and since the company has gone out of business and the plant will soon be demolished, he is squatting in order to save money. Jeannette is a single mother raising her two children on her own on a meagre supermarket checkout operator salary. They meet when Jeannette tries to steal two cans of paint from the cement lot, and Marius catches her and tries to chase her. The following day Marius comes to her door to apologize, and brings her the two cans of paint. A relationship soon develops between them, but as both have been wounded by marital difficulties, and life in general, they are hesitant to become committed. It does not help that Jeannette's romantic fantasy notions are different from Marius' practical ideas. The two must learn how to love again in order for their relationship to blossom.

In this tragic tale of misunderstanding, obsession, and increasing madness, "Elle," a beautiful young woman (Isabelle Adjani) settles into a small town in the south of France with her introverted mother (Maria Machado) and physically handicapped father and soon becomes the subject of wild speculation because of her aloofness and at the same time, her obvious sexuality. The young woman is actually caught up in the desire to avenge the long-ago rape of her mother, a rape committed by three men who had arrived at her isolated house in a van which contained an old piano which they were delivering. A shy car mechanic (Alain Souchon) becomes enamored of her, and the woman suddenly sees him in a different light when she learns that his father, now dead, was an Italian immigrant who had owned and tried unsuccessfully to pawn the piano. Intent on taking action against the mechanic's family to right the wrong suffered by her mother, the daughter begins to lose her grip on sanity when she finds out that the men she suspects of the rape are actually innocent. In fact, her father had long ago exacted his own vengeance on the real culprits. This knowledge pushes her over the edge, and she has to be institutionalized. Meanwhile, the young mechanic misunderstands what happened and that leads to tragedy; he tracks down and kills the innocent men Elle had suspected of raping her mother, believing them to be responsible for Elle's current condition.

Une nuit d'été, Pierre Menda, un homme qui paraît être à la dérive et marche sans but le long d'une petite route de la Côte d'Azur, est accosté par un luxueux cabriolet blanc. Sans un mot, sa conductrice, une femme dont il ne distingue que la longue chevelure blonde, l'invite à monter, ouvre son manteau sous lequel elle est nue et se donne à lui. Mais, après qu'il a été abruptement invité à quitter le véhicule, la conductrice, après avoir tenté de l'écraser, réussit à prendre la fuite. Grâce au numéro d'immatriculation qu'il a eu le temps de relever, Pierre trouve le domicile des propriétaires du véhicule, les Lecain. Mais il va de surprise en surprise : les occupants de la riche villa sont les sœurs Éva et Hélène Lecain, deux jeunes femmes aux longs cheveux blonds, au physique si proche qu'on les dirait presque jumelles. Éva, la cadette, se déplace en fauteuil roulant, car elle a les jambes paralysées.
