After the Second World War, former White Emigres are offered Soviet citizenship, amnesty, and an invitation to return to the Motherland, so that they could join in the post-war reconstruction. While most of the émigrés decide to remain abroad, there are many people anxious to return to the ‘Holy Russia’. Among the returnees are Alexei Golovin (Oleg Menshikov), his French wife Marie (Sandrine Bonnaire) and their son Sergey. But Joseph Stalin's offer was merely a tactical step.

Xavier (Romain Duris), a 24-year-old French student, leaves his country for the ERASMUS programme in Barcelona as part of his professional pursuits, despite it being against the wishes of his girlfriend Martine (Audrey Tautou). On the flight over, he meets a young French couple, a doctor and his wife (Anne-Sophie), who let him stay in their home while he searches for an apartment. Xavier manages to find an apartment with other students from England, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Denmark, creating an ambiance of chaos and culture shock. The roommates begin to develop a unique companionship as they struggle together through their cultural and linguistic challenges in their program. Martine pays Xavier a visit and returns disappointed when she realizes things are not the same. Meanwhile Xavier develops a romantic affair with the French doctor's wife, seducing her with tips he has been learning from his Belge lesbian roommate. The English roommate Wendy's brother William visits for some time and turns out to be quite abrasive with his culturally insensitive comments, creating tension among the roommates. Martine eventually breaks up with Xavier, bringing him to depression and hallucinations. When Xavier seeks the French doctor's advice, he reveals that Anne-Sophie told him everything and tells him to stop seeing her. As the discordance among the roommates escalates, their friendship is repaired as they team up to help Wendy elude a sticky situation (her boyfriend Alister makes a surprise visit while she was hooking up with an American). After leaving Barcelona and bidding farewell to his many close friends, Xavier returns to Paris and gets the job at the Ministry but realizes he misses his experiences that now make him a different person. He subsequently runs away on his first day and pursues his dream to become a writer, recounting the story of his experiences in the Auberge Espagnole.

Le capitaine Alfred de Morsac (Thierry Lhermitte) accoste en 1918 avec son navire militaire sur une île imaginaire appelée Fenua Poerava (« île de la perle noire » en tahitien), un paradis perdu dans l'archipel polynésien. Il est décoré de la Croix de guerre, et vient former un bataillon de tirailleurs océaniens pour renforcer les troupes de Verdun. Mais les habitants, les Hiva, sous la coupe de l'ignoble et cupide commandant Lefebvre, vont rapidement chasser l'officier français, qui entraîne avec lui Barnabé, un escroc au cœur tendre. Morsac s'est pourtant lié d'amitié avec un enfant, Reia, le prince de l'île. Ce dernier voit en lui le libérateur de son peuple. Néanmoins, la mère de Reia, Moeata, française d'origine, vivant en robe polynésienne et pieds nus, se méfie de ce Morsac.
