Marie, une prostituée de Marseille, rend visite, très émue, à son fils Simon qu'elle n'a pas vu depuis longtemps et dont elle a confié la garde à Gilles, un berger de la campagne provençale. Simon, âgé à présent d'une douzaine d'années, idéalise sa mère dont il ignore la profession. Marie, jugeant qu'elle est à présent suffisamment bien installée pour prendre son enfant en charge, le ramène avec elle. Mais après l'euphorie des premiers jours, Simon ne tarde pas à découvrir les activités de sa mère et à déchanter d'autant plus qu'elle s'est amourachée de Paul, un individu douteux et pleutre que Simon se met à détester, ce qui crée des dissensions entre la mère aveuglée par l'amour et le fils, clairvoyant. Afin d'échapper au milieu délétère familial, Simon, attiré par la mer, se met à fréquenter le port et sympathise avec François, un capitaine de marine marchande… Celui-ci, discernant le malaise et l'isolement du gamin, l'embauche comme mousse pendant que Marie va être entraînée au cœur d'un drame à cause de Paul fourvoyé dans une sordide affaire de faux billets., 2h14

Honoré Panisse is dying, cheerfully, with friends, wife, and son at his side. He confesses to the priest in front of his friends; he insists that the doctor be truthful. But, he cannot bring himself to tell his son Césariot that his real father is Marius, the absent son of César, Césariot's godfather. Panisse leaves that to Fanny, the lad's mother. Dissembling that he's off to see a friend, Césariot then seeks Marius, now a mechanic in Toulon. Posing as a journalist, Césariot spends time with Marius and leaves believing tales he is a petty thief. Only after the truth comes out can Marius, Fanny, César, and Césariot step beyond the falsehoods, benign though they may be., 2h20

Jules est berger en Provence, qui vit en solitaire sur les hauts plateaux. Pour le sentiment, il s'est arrangé avec une jeune veuve qui habite dans la vallée, Fine, qui vient quelquefois passer la nuit avec lui quand il le désire. Il trouve, un jour au détour d'un sentier, un conteneur d'aviation qu'il prend pour une bombe, lequel, après avoir été percé par les chevrotines de son fusil, laisse apparaître près de deux mètres cubes de billets de banque. Angoissé, ne sachant que faire de tout cet argent, Jules offre aux habitants du village un grand banquet qui attire aussitôt les convoitises et les jalousies de chacun des convives. Après avoir semé le doute puis la terreur avec cet argent, Jules reçoit la visite de deux policiers qui lui expliquent, en raflant les dernières liasses, que ces faux billets étaient en réalité un piège de l'occupant voulant ruiner à la libération l'économie nationale. Le village va pouvoir recommencer une vie sans argent, peut-être plus près de l'amour., 1h30

The film takes place mostly in the waterfront bar of César, Marius's father. Marius works in the bar and his good friend since childhood, Fanny, works outside the bar selling cockles. Marius has a hidden desire to travel to exotic places with the ship crews that depart from the docks of Marseilles. This desire becomes exposed when a rich older man (Panisse) proposes to Fanny and Marius gets jealous. Marius' jealousy of Panisse is the first indication of the secret feelings that he has for her, but much to his surprise, the feelings are reciprocated by Fanny. She confesses that she loves Marius prompting him to reveal his plans of traveling the world to her, noting that being the wife of a man at sea is not a desirable life. After a few nights, it is discovered that they have slept together and Marius's father and Fanny's mother convince him to marry her. Marius becomes noticeably melancholy after proposing to Fanny until a few days later, the date of departure of a boat on which Marius was supposed to crew. Fanny, realizing that Marius is not truly happy being with her, decides to encourage him to leave. She helps distract his father while Marius sneaks onto the boat., 1h44

In 1928, a globally famous illusionist, Wei Ling Soo, performs in front of a crowd in Berlin with his world-class magic act. As he walks off stage the film audience sees that he is actually a British man named Stanley (Colin Firth). He berates his employees and is generally curmudgeonly towards his well-wishers. In his dressing-room, he is greeted by old friend and fellow illusionist Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney). Howard enlists Stanley to go with him to the Côte d'Azur where a rich American family, the Catledges, has apparently been taken in by a clairvoyant and mystic, Sophie (Emma Stone). In fact, the son of the family, Brice (Hamish Linklater), is smitten with Sophie, and his sister Caroline (Erica Leerhsen) and brother-in-law George (Jeremy Shamos) are concerned Brice is considering proposing marriage. Howard says that he has been unable to uncover the secrets behind her tricks and he admits that the more he watched her the more he believed she really has supernatural powers. So he would like Stanley, who has debunked charlatan mystics in the past, to help him prove she is a fraud.
