Grégoire Canvel tiene todo lo que se puede desear: una esposa a la que ama, tres hijas encantadoras y un interesante trabajo como productor de cine, al que dedica la mayor parte del tiempo y todo su esfuerzo. Es un hombre hiperactivo que sólo descansa cuando pasa en el campo los fines de semana. Esos momentos con su familia son tan valiosos como frágiles. Grégoire suscita la admiración de la gente por su presencia física y su excepcional carisma, pero su prestigiosa productora, Moon Films, está al borde de la quiebra. Tantas producciones, riesgos y deudas anuncian la llegada de una tormenta.

Taking the plight of Pinochet's oppressed Chile as its cause, the theatre attracts the involvement of Jeanne, a young actress who immediately sparks the attentions of both Aurelian and Antoine. When Chilean dissident actor Luis is brought to the theatre by Barbara's diplomat father, Jeanne falls in love with him, and the two carry out an affair that ends when a sudden development causes Jeanne to disappear. 8 years later, Aurelian has a new girlfriend and is directing a travelling troupe, and Antoine is a high-priced image consultant who gets his old friend a gig at Dunkirk. Aurelian, deeply immersed in a mid-life crisis, still loves Jeanne, continuing to carry a picture of the enigmatic actress in his wallet and writing about her in his diary.

In a somewhat deflated story of robbery and deception set against the rooftops and byways of Paris, a group of enterprising petty thieves take advantage of the dog days of August to burglarize vacated apartments. At this time of year, all Parisiens are on vacation elsewhere, and the city is invaded by tourists on vacation from their own cities. In this mass rearrangement of the European population, the thieves get away with their looting until they run into an architect who catches them in the act. But his morals are nothing to brag about, as he gets more involved in what they are doing and wants some of their take. He is also smitten with one of the down-and-out women the thieves have been supporting (Dominque Laffin). As in so many French dramas, these conflicting relationships are doomed to be resolved only by tragedy.
