C'est enfin le week-end, un week-end de printemps sur le littoral atlantique. Ce week-end-là, deux retraités se rendent dans leur résidence secondaire, une maisonnette aussi vaste qu’un timbre poste, et croisent un couple de punks ayant pour gîte une maison dessinée sur le sable d’une plage. Plus loin, deux imposteurs vêtus d’orange et de vert se mettent au golf non loin d’une procession funéraire. Au même moment, un représentant en parapluies a rendez-vous avec une maîtresse sado-maso dans un hôtel du bord de mer où séjournent deux couples dont l’existence sera chamboulée par un cerf-volant perdu.
