Treinta años después de rodar aquella película, Nicolas Philibert decide reencontrarse con los actores. Algunos ya no viven y otros han emigrado, pero en un absoluto proceso de investigación, Philibert intenta recuperarlos para que nos hablen sobre su vida y nos cuenten cómo les ha afectado su participación en aquella película.
