Psychiatrist Jack Mickler (Marlon Brando) dissuades a would-be suicide—a 21-year-old, costumed like Zorro and claiming to be Don Juan (Johnny Depp), who is then held for a ten-day review in a mental institution. Mickler, who is about to retire, insists on doing the evaluation and conducts it without medicating the youth. "Don Juan" tells his story—born in Mexico, the death of his father, a year in a harem, and finding true love (and being rejected) on a remote island. Listening enlivens Mickler's relationship with his own wife, Marilyn (Faye Dunaway). As the ten days tick down and pressure mounts on Mickler to support the youth's indefinite confinement, finding reality within the romantic imagination becomes Jack's last professional challenge.

In the small town of Endora, Iowa, Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) is busy caring for Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio), his brother with a developmental disability, as they wait for the many tourists' trailers to pass through town during their "yearly ritual" of camping at a nearby recreational area. His mother, Bonnie (Darlene Cates), gave up on life after her husband hanged himself seventeen years earlier. She spends almost all of her time on the couch watching TV. With Bonnie unable to care for her children on her own due to her morbid obesity, Gilbert has taken responsibility for repairing the old house and looking after Arnie, who has a habit of climbing the town water tower, while his sisters Amy and Ellen do the rest. The relationship between the brothers is of both care and protection, as Gilbert continually enforces the "nobody touches Arnie" policy. A new FoodLand supermarket has opened, threatening the small Lamson's Grocery where Gilbert works. In addition, Gilbert is having an affair with a married woman, Betty Carver (Mary Steenburgen).

Un 21 juin, à Paris. Comme tous les ans, un groupe d'amis se retrouve lors d'un dîner, le jour de la Fête de la musique. Piotr, le mari de Marie-Laurence Claverne, une avocate débordée spécialisée dans le divorce, étant en congé sabbatique, est donc chargé d'organiser ce dîner. Hélas le repas ne se passe pas aussi bien que d'habitude, puisque le code a changé ; fini celui de la dictature de l'apparence, avec son lot de cordialité, d'hypocrisie et de fausse bonne humeur, qui cachait les angoisses sous l'humour et étouffait les chagrins avec des éclats de rire. L'avocat réputé Lucas Mattei se dispute avec sa femme Sarah. La gynécologue Mélanie Carcassonne décide que c'est le moment idéal pour avouer à son cancérologue de mari Alain sa liaison extra-conjugale avec un jockey. Juliette, la sœur de Marie-Laurence, vient avec un invité surprise, son nouveau compagnon Erwann, de trente ans son aîné. L'arrivée d'Henri, le père de Juliette et Marie-Laurence, est un bouleversement de plus, car lui et Juliette ne se parlent plus depuis deux ans.
