The film begins with Michèle's first journal entry, "I am 20 years old, and I have ruined my life!" This is just one of the many journal entry titles that are flashed before every particular scene in the film. Michèle had just recently broken up with her boyfriend so she meets up with some of her friends at a café. It is there that she meets the charming veterinarian François. Though Michèle has a promising modeling career, she feels that something, or someone, is missing in her life. François quickly fills this void, and Michèle feels partially whole. She first claims that she is Catholic but is dissatisfied with the results of praying and worshipping. By recommendation, she begins to follow Buddhism through meditation and use of elaborate costume jewelry. Eventually, she discovers that François is Jewish; however, he does not practice his faith. Throughout the film, she immerses herself in Judaism, following traditions such as the Sabbath. François breaks up with her by telling her "your touch sickens me", after accusing her of lying. He then engages in several other affairs but fails to ever marry. She attempts to date a few men but does not create any true connections. Finally, at a wedding of their friend Valérie, Francois has broken up with yet another woman and claims to desire her. The movie ends with the famous line, "...to be continued" leaving viewers curious about their future.

Preface Although The Last September was first published in 1929, a preface was written for this text decades later to be included in the second American edition of this novel. Concerned that readers unfamiliar with this particular chapter of Anglo-Irish history would not fully comprehend the anxieties of these times, Bowen takes great pains to explain the particulars of both her writing process and the political reasons for the unsettled atmosphere felt throughout the text, palpable even in its most seemingly serene moments. Of all her books, Bowen notes, The Last September is "nearest to my heart, [and it] had a deep, unclouded, spontaneous source. Though not poetic, it brims up with what could be the stuff of poetry, the sensations of youth. It is a work of instinct rather than knowledge—to a degree, a ‘recall’ book, but there had been no such recall before.” While Bowen's own beloved family home, Bowen's Court, remained untouched throughout "The Troubled Times" this preface explores the ramifications for witnesses of “Ambushes, arrests, captures and burning, reprisals and counter-reprisals” as "The British patrolled and hunted; the Irish planned, lay in wait, and struck.” "I was the child of the house from which Danielstown derives" Bowen concludes, “nevertheless, so often in my mind's eye did I see it [Bowen’s Court] burning that the terrible last event in The Last September is more real than anything I have lived through.”

Grégoire Jeancourt, dirigeant d'entreprise fortuné, sort de quatre mois de réclusion à la prison de la Santé pour des malversations financières. Cet emprisonnement semble l'avoir profondément déstabilisé dans ses rapports aux autres, ne retrouvant plus ses repères que ce soit dans sa famille ou dans son travail. Absent, largement mutique, il observe avec distance et bienveillance l'univers qui l'entoure. Ses rapports, glaciaux, avec sa femme Agnès ne s'améliorent pas ; sa relation avec son frère Louis, un célèbre présentateur d'émissions télévisées, est toujours aussi conflictuelle notamment depuis le solde de l'héritage de leur père. Bien qu'il tente de prendre contact avec des gens de milieux sociaux moins favorisés que le sien — Stéphanie, la coiffeuse de sa femme ; William, un ex-taulard qu'il retrouve par hasard dans Paris ; ou bien divers de ses employés —, il ne réussit pas à établir un lien ou un réel échange. Il reste étranger à tous et à lui-même, jusqu'au jour où lors d'une réunion de famille houleuse certaines vérités éclatent au grand jour faisant se rapprocher les deux frères qui réussissent enfin à s'avouer leur attachement réciproque.

Conservative Henry Bell has been eased out of his job by condescending Bruce Tick, while wealthy and wildly eccentric Karen Knightly has been abandoned by her lover Anthony Staxton-Billing, who opted to return to his wife Imogen. Both are intent on committing suicide by leaping from the Tower Bridge in London.
