The movie starts with an adoption ceremony presided over by five old women (Beshkempir literally means "five grandmothers"), in a village in Kyrgyzstan. The movie then flashes forward a decade or so to show the coming of age of the adopted child - Beshkempir. He is shown indulging in childhood pranks and activities with friends in a rural setting, like stealing honey from beehives and going to watch screened Hindi movies. However, approaching adolescence leads the boys to spy on a village woman's breasts, make clay models of the female form and pretend to make love and eye girls. Beshkempir is even shown as the message carrier between an older boy and his girlfriend.

Parce qu'il y a du brouillard et que les avions ne peuvent circuler, Hélène Lehman décide de se rendre en chemin de fer à Zurich pour y retrouver son amant. Dans le train, elle fait involontairement la connaissance d'un journaliste, Lucas Richter, dont le mutisme et l'étrange comportement l'intriguent quelque peu. Or, la malencontreuse erreur d'un douanier fait qu'Hélène se retrouve en possession du passeport de Lucas. Ce n'est pourtant qu'à son hôtel et après avoir appris que son amant ne viendrait pas que la jeune femme s'aperçoit de la chose. Dès lors, elle n'a de cesse de retrouver Lucas dont elle sait seulement qu'il doit rentrer à Paris le soir même. Pendant ce temps, le journaliste négocie un dossier compromettant avec les responsables d'une société multinationale. Il s'agit de faire publier des documents accablants pour un groupe concurrent. En réalité, ces preuves ne serviront qu'à faire pression sur les intéressés afin d'obtenir une part substantielle d'un important marché. Mais cela, Lucas l'ignore quand il repart pour la France. De même qu'il ne sait pas qu'Hélène le cherche et qu'elle a été poursuivie une bonne partie de l'après-midi par un étrange individu, Medford, qui est également monté dans le train. Là, Hélène retrouve Lucas et lui relate les incidents qui ont émaillé sa journée. Parallèlement, à Paris et Zurich, les financiers finissent par se mettre d'accord et sur le contrat et sur le fait que l'inconnue qui accompagne Lucas doit disparaître. Cependant, pressentant qu'un danger menace, Lucas décide de passer à l'action. Il parvient à faire stopper le train et à éliminer Medford sans toutefois réussir à empêcher qu'Hélène, sa "complice" inattendue, soit poignardée, à peine arrivée à Paris.
