Three unconnected stories take place in Paris within two days. Claire (Isabelle), a childless woman from province, comes to see a sterile expert in Paris, where she saw an old friend, whom she couldn't remember whether she slept with or not, and encounter some other strangers; Marguerite, a teenage, can't get along with anybody, then decides to dedicate herself to God; Jacques is unemployed and divorced, fighting for the right of seeing his son. The only time that three characters meet is at the end at a subway station.
