L'action se déroule dans un pays imaginaire, l'Eldorado, qui offre, cependant, des similitudes avec le Brésil des années 1960. Au plus fort d'une époque en crise, le poète Paulo Martins est écartelé entre ses aspirations politiques et sa passion artistique. À l'agonie, il évoque, à présent, son parcours. Il a servi deux leaders politiques. L'un, Dom Porfirio Diaz, l'a protégé, utilisant son talent littéraire à des fins de pouvoir. Pourtant, Paulo Martins le trahit pour rejoindre ses adversaires politiques groupés autour de Don Felipe Vieira, dirigeant populiste et démagogique. Après son élection comme gouverneur, Vieira, confronté à l'inconsistance des promesses faites aux paysans pauvres, finit par utiliser Paulo Martins à des fins policières. Désabusé, le poète se replie sur lui-même et sur ses premières amours avec une fiancée bourgeoise présentée, autrefois, par Dom Porfirio Diaz, commettant une infidélité à l'égard de Sara, militante de l'autre camp... Mais, Sara et ses camarades l'enjoignent et le convainquent de les rallier à nouveau. Il trahit une seconde fois Diaz et de façon plus grave. Ce dernier réussit, cependant, à être couronné. Quant à Paulo Martins, « sa quête conjointe de la "justice et de la beauté" le vouera donc à un destin de déchirure, de trahisons successives de lui-même et de ses amis (et de ses amantes), et finalement à ne pouvoir dépasser l'horreur et le dégoût que dans la mort et le sacrifice.

The writing team of Nava and Thomas split the story into three parts: Arturo Xuncax: The first part takes place in a small rural Guatemalan village called San Pedro and introduces the Xuncax family, a group of indigenous Mayans. Arturo is a coffee picker and his wife a homemaker. Arturo explains to his son, Enrique, his world view and how the indio fares in Guatemalan life, noting that, "to the rich, the peasant is just a pair of strong arms". Arturo and his family then discuss the possibility of going to the United States where "all the people, even the poor, own their own cars". Because of his attempts to form a labor union among the workers, Arturo and the other organizers are attacked and murdered by government troops when a co-worker is bribed to betray them—Arturo's severed head is seen hanging from a tree. When Enrique attempts to climb the tree that displays his father's head, a soldier attacks him. Enrique fights and kills the attacker, only to learn that many of their fellow villagers have been rounded up by soldiers. The children's mother too "disappears": abducted by soldiers. So, using money given to them by their godmother, Enrique and his sister Rosa decide to flee Guatemala, the land of their birth, and head north.

Anderson (Duvall) is a successful American hitman whose employer sends him to do a job in Argentina. His contacts inform him that his target is a former general. Following a meeting with one of the co-conspirators, Anderson hears music and is shown a tango studio. He is immediately entranced by the dancing and wants to learn more about it, which leads to his meeting with Manuela, a local tango dancer and instructor. Things are not as easy as they seem. Anderson learns that the assassination job will be delayed, due to his target sustaining an injury in a riding accident. A paranoid Anderson simultaneously rents a room in two different hotels. From the safety but close proximity of one hotel room, he witnesses police converge on the other hotel. Anderson will fulfill his obligation to do the job despite the obvious reality that there is a leak. In the meantime, Anderson begins to immerse himself in the world of the tango, while balancing his plans to carry out the hit. We witness the conspirator Miguel (Rueben Blades) being harshly interrogated by Buenos Aires police. Miguel can eventually breathe a sigh of relief when his conspirator within the Argentinian federal authorities shows up. Anderson (Duvall) eventually makes it out of Argentina safely.

The film concentrates more on the period spent in hospital than the original novel, and emphasizes the horror of the friends' injuries. On Adrien's arrival at the ward, all the mirrors are removed and staff are instructed not to give any to him, but we see from the expressions on the faces of others just how bad the damage is. Adrien becomes increasingly desperate to see the damage done to his face, even asking a visitor to draw a picture of him. Dupeyron ensures that we do not see the horrifying extent of Adrien's injuries until the moment that he himself does - by looking at his reflection in a window pane.

À Hénart, dans le Pas-de-Calais, Pauline Duhez est infirmière libérale. Tous les jours, elle est confrontée à la misère sociale, à la disparition des services publics, tout en jonglant avec une vie personnelle bien remplie : son père, ancien métallurgiste malade de l'amiante dont elle s'occupe, et ses enfants, qu'elle élève seule. Un jour, le docteur Philippe Berthier, médecin fortuné et ancien député européen, lui propose de se présenter aux élections municipales en tête de la liste du Rassemblement national populaire (RNP), un mouvement populiste fondé par Agnès Dorgelle, présidente du Bloc Patriotique, un parti d'extrême-droite. Réticente, Pauline se laisse séduire par le discours de la présidente du RNP, à la fibre sociale et en appelant au peuple, du docteur Berthier, qui évoque la notoriété et l'empathie de Pauline, et le soutien de ses amis, dont certains se révèlent ouvertement racistes. Après avoir accepté d'être candidate, la vie de Pauline change radicalement, certains de ses proches se détournent d'elle et elle n'est plus la bienvenue chez certains de ses patients.

Broke and with no immediate prospects, Boyle and his buddy Doctor Rock, an out-of-work disc jockey, head to El Salvador, where Boyle is convinced that he can scare up some lucrative freelance work amidst the nation's political turmoil. However, when Boyle and Rock witness the execution of a student by government troops just as they enter the country, it becomes clear that this war is more serious than they were expecting. Increasingly convinced that El Salvador is a disaster starting to happen, Boyle eventually decides that it's time to get out; but he has fallen in love with a woman named Maria, and he doesn't want to leave her behind.
