Dans la grande tradition des films à sketches, l'histoire du film est tirée d'une pièce de Jean Anouilh. Elle se déroule à Paris entre les années 1937 à 1947, dans un atelier d'artiste de Montmartre plus ou moins transformé en 3 lofts, qui tient lieu d'alcôve pour quatre histoires romanesques dont la dernière tourne plutôt à la farce.
