L'hôtesse à l'aéroport
Arthur Dreyfus (Fabrice Luchini) y César Montesiho (Patrick Bruel) son dos amigos de la infancia que hacen frente a la vida de manera totalmente opuesta. Arthur es un reputado investigador y docente universitario divorciado y con una hija adolescente (Marie Narbonne) con quien le cuesta comunicarse. Por su parte, César sigue soltero a sus cincuenta años y su solvencia económica está siempre al límite. En el día en el que tiene que hacer frente a una deuda con todas sus posesiones, cae accidentalmente por la ventana, lastimándose la espalda. Arthur es el encargado de llevarle al hospital para que comprueben que se ha dañado, prestándole sus papeles. Semanas después, Arthur recibe una llamada del hospital informando de que tiene cáncer de pulmón terminal; pero no son sus análisis los que han recibido, si no los de César con los documentos médicos de Arthur. Incapaz de contarle la dura verdad, Arthur lidia con su amigo mientras le cuida pensando que el moribundo es su amigo, no él.

Preston is an indecisive film school lecturer who dreams of being a great film director like the European directors whose work he teaches - Bergman, Fellini, Truffaut, Antonioni, Godard and Buñuel. One day his wife leaves him, telling him that she believes he will never be anything more than a teacher. Depressed, Preston is visited by the ghost of Ingmar Bergman who tells him to use his misery as the material for a great film just as he did in his 'Scenes from a Marriage'. Taking Bergman's advice, Preston decides to make a film, in an attempt to prove his wife wrong and in the hope of winning her back. Using the facilities of the school and the students as his crew, Preston shoots his film but soon finds that he is visited by the ghosts of series of famous, dead European directors who offer him advice on how to improve his film. Following their wise but disparate counsel his film goes wildly out of control and becomes a huge, sprawling, incoherent mess.
