The philosopher Denis Diderot, one of the modernists of the French 18th-century Age of Enlightenment movement, is a guest at the château of the Baron d'Holbach. The film depicts the Baron (in reality a major sponsor of Diderot) as a benign host and inventor of amusing machines, including a piganino. Diderot's banned Encyclopédie is being secretly set up, printed and bound in a crypt beneath the chapel, where the noise of the presses is masked by the playing of an organ.

Les Carabiniers met en scène deux hommes pauvres appelés pour se battre à la guerre et qu'on trompe en leur promettant toutes les richesses du monde. Ulysse (Marino Masè) et Michelangelo (Albert Juross) reçoivent du roi de leur pays fictif des lettres qui leur accordent une liberté complète tant qu'ils se battront : ils auront tout ce qu'ils désirent : piscines, Maseratis, femmes – et le tout aux frais de l'ennemi. Ils quittent tous les deux leurs épouses (Catherine Ribeiro et Geneviève Galéa) et traversent champs de bataille et villages, en détruisant et pillant tout leur saoul. Ils racontent leurs exploits à leurs femmes sur des cartes postales qu'ils leur envoient, en rapportant les horreurs des batailles. La représentation idéaliste qu'ils se faisaient de la guerre s'en va en morceaux car ils sont toujours pauvres et maintenant blessés.

Un château dans une île de Suède. Une curieuse famille : Hugo, un hobereau autocrate ; Eléonore, sa femme ; Agathe, sa sœur, vieille fille attachée aux traditions ; Sébastien, frère d'Eléonore, à qui le lie une affection trouble ; une grand-mère tombée en enfance. Tout ce monde costumé comme au XIXe siècle. Voilà ce que trouve en arrivant le jeune Eric, cousin de Hugo, qui vient profiter de l'hospitalité bien connue de la famille. Très vite, Eléonore lui laisse entendre que ses faveurs s'accordent volontiers. Puis Eric découvre que la première femme de Hugo, Ophélie, devenue folle, vit en recluse dans le château. Eléonore n'est donc pas la femme légitime de Hugo et Eric lui propose de fuir avec lui. Mais de cela, pas question : Eléonore n'a aucune envie de fuir. Hugo, qui a découvert (ou provoqué) la liaison, veut tuer Eric. Agathe et Sébastien partagent son point de vue. Finalement, Eric s'enfuit sur le lac à moitié gelé et tombe d'épuisement aux pieds d'un paysan.

Fotoula "Toula" Portokalos (Nia Vardalos) is going through an early midlife crisis. At thirty, having had her childhood, adolescence and adult life plagued by bad luck, she feels that she is the only woman in her family who has "failed" at being a typical Greek girl. Her family expects her to be more like her 33-year-old sister Athena (Stavroula Logothettis) and marry a Greek boy, make Greek babies, and "feed everyone until the day she dies." Instead, Toula is stuck working in the family restaurant in Chicago, "Dancing Zorba's." Frumpy and cynical, she fears that she is doomed to be stuck with her life as it is and always has been. One day while at the restaurant, Toula briefly becomes enamored with and embarrasses herself in front of Ian Miller (John Corbett), a handsome school teacher.
