인구가 215명뿐인 작은 외딴 마을에서 한 남자가 차 사고로 숨지게 된다. 망연자실한 마을 사람들은 비극의 전말과 관련하여 이야기하기를 꺼린다. 그 시점부터 그의 가족을 비롯한 몇몇 사람들에게 시간은 이제 아무 의미를 갖지 못하게 되고, 하루하루는 기약 없이 늘어져만 간다.

Benoit, an actor surviving on his barman wages, follows the advice of is his brother Frank - a former hockey player turned talent agent- and grows a beard to get a part in a dinner theatre play. Benoit's girlfriend Vicky, an ex dramaturge who now works as a librarian, finds it difficult to accept this latest development, as it will delay the couple's plan to purchase a condo from their friends Caro and Vincent, who manage a hair and beauty salon. But Benoit's beard seems to have magical powers: he suddenly has a great deal of success, while Vicky develops a mysterious allergy to her boyfriend's facial hair.
