Un tableau finlandais de 1903 représente deux enfants transportant un ange sur un brancard. Cette image est une énigme car son auteur ne l’a jamais expliquée. L'Ange blessé est aujourd’hui le tableau le plus aimé par la population finlandaise et il lui sert de catharsis.

Andy McDermott is a tourist seeing the sights of Paris with his friends Brad and Chris. When Serafine Pigot leaps off the Eiffel Tower just before Andy is about to bungee jump, he executes a mid-air rescue. She vanishes into the night, leaving Andy intrigued – and also unaware that she is the daughter of David Kessler and Alex Price, the couple seen 16 years earlier in the first film. That night, Andy, Chris, and Brad attend a night club called "Club de la Lune". The club's owner, Claude, is actually the leader of a werewolf society that uses the club as a way to lure people (preferring tourists) in to be killed. Serafine arrives, tells Andy to run away and transforms into a werewolf. The club owners transform into werewolves as well and butcher all the guests. Chris escapes and goes back to Serafine's house. Brad's heart is eaten by a werewolf and Andy is bitten by another werewolf.

Michel (Tcheky Karyo), un pirate électronique qui vit de rapines dans les maisons de disques, découvre que son ancienne compagne, devenue une chanteuse célèbre (Julia Migenes), est en train, au sens propre du mot, de se faire "doubler". Le savant Colewsky (Sami Frey) met au point un procédé de clonage holographique qui permet de reproduire l'image tridimensionnelle animée des êtres vivants. Ces travaux de recherche, menés dans le plus grand secret avec l'appui du producteur Vox (Charles Denner), débouchent sur la création du clone virtuel de la chanteuse. Vox compte se passer de la chanteuse réelle, sujette à des caprices et moments de dépression, en lui substituant son clone parfait pour des apparitions à la télévision comme à la scène.

Waking Life is about an unnamed young man living an ethereal existence that lacks transitions between everyday events and that eventually progresses toward an existential crisis. For most of the film he observes quietly but later participates actively in philosophical discussions involving other characters—ranging from quirky scholars and artists to everyday restaurant-goers and friends—about such issues as metaphysics, free will, social philosophy, and the meaning of life. Other scenes do not even include the protagonist's presence, but rather, focus on a random isolated person, group of people, or couple engaging in such topics from a disembodied perspective. Along the way, the film touches also upon existentialism, situationist politics, posthumanity, the film theory of André Bazin, and lucid dreaming, and makes references to various celebrated intellectual and literary figures by name.
