Un cosaque
Todos los lunes por la mañana Vincent empieza la misma monótona rutina. Una hora y media de viaje sin fumar a un trabajo nada estimulante en una fábrica. De vuelta a casa, las obligaciones familiares interrumpen siempre su pasión por la pintura. ¡Vincent ya no puede con otros lunes por la mañana! Está harto de la fábrica, de la mujer y de los hijos, de las incomprensibles contradicciones y de un pueblo con inesperadas excentricidades... El viejo Albert hace el mismo camino cada día. El cartero lee el correo de todo el mundo. El cura no aparta los ojos de las mujeres del pueblo. Un avaro granjero instala un sistema de alarma más. Los jóvenes andan de acá para allá en bici, charlando de lo primero que les viene a la cabeza, simplemente para que la vida sea más interesante... Un día Vincent decide ver un poco de mundo y viaja a Venecia. Quizás encuentre exactamente lo que falta en su vida...

Rose was a brilliant student of Fine Arts. Then, she gave up everything for a "beautiful marriage". Now in her thirties, she is experiencing more and more difficulties in her life, which is both materially overprotected and difficult with her three children and an increasingly absent husband. She breaks down, cracks up and tries to imagine how she could broach the subject with her husband before it's too late. To her great amazement, it was Didier who, one evening before going to visit friends, announced that he was leaving and that he had already rented a small studio. After the shock, Rose goes to her father, an old Spanish anarchist, who gives her back the taste for values she thought she had lost.

Jefe de camareros
A diverse group of guests gather in a small hotel in Paris to contemplate the state of their lives in this pretentious drama. Joseph Goldman (Fernando Rey) is a washed-up Hollywood actor making a living in the dinner-theater circuit. Accompanied by his wife Sarah (Carole Regnier), Goldman meets Frederique (Berangere Bonvoisin), who is hiding from her former lover. French financier Arthur (Fabrice Luchini) hopes to get into the film industry and bends the ear of a British director (Michael Medwin).

Monsieur Laplace
The story revolves around two objects, a rare set of 18th-century Limoges china, and a 19th century aristocratic portrait. As these items are passed, sold, or stolen from one character to another, a giddy round dance of excess begins to take shape, one which suggests that if history doesn't repeat itself, it certainly rhymes. Together with co-writer Gérard Brach, whose other co-writing credits include Repulsion and Tess, Otar Iosseliani uses a feather-light touch to expose the futility of class and social order, making a bagatelle of the concerns of rich and poor alike.

Screenplay
Alain Cluny is Balthazar, a bumbling middle-aged intellectual who spouts off from time to time about leftist causes, usually to his current girlfriend. Then Edwarda (Bernadette Lafont), who is active in the political underground, comes into his life. From that point on, he begins to act on his beliefs. Edwarda's underground political action group stages a little drama to test Balthazar's commitment and reliability, putting him through an interrogation by what appear to him to be French secret police. Having passed this test, he is given a real assignment. This film is a comedy with elements of satire, and it explores the humor to be found in left-wing pretentiousness of all kinds. - Rovi
