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.

The film takes place in late 1999. India has an out-of-control nuclear satellite in orbit that is about to re-enter the atmosphere at any time, contaminating large areas of the Earth. This has caused a massive panic, with everyone trying to flee the likely impact sites. Caught in a traffic jam, impatient and disconnected Claire Tourneur (Solveig Dommartin) escapes the highway congestion by taking a side road. Her dashboard computer system announces she has left the map zone database and is on her own. She then has a couple of odd encounters, first with a pair of bank robbers (which leaves her with a large amount of cash), then with a hitchhiker being pursued by an armed party. Claire discovers, after falling in love with the enigmatic fugitive, that he is the son of a scientist (played by Max von Sydow), and has absconded with the prototype of a secret research project. Multiple government agencies and freelance bounty hunters are chasing him to recover the device.

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.

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.
