La mère
A playwright of note, Darius developed a drinking problem after his first major hit, and has taken time out from writing his follow-up to go to a clinic and dry out. After his release, Darius finds his producer has hired a leading lady for his next show, booked the theater and advertised the starting date -- all without Darius writing so much as a word of this new play. Darius desperately tries to come up with ideas, but nothing comes to mind, with an inflexible deadline staring him in the face. One day, Darius kills a neighbor's cat by accident; terribly depressed, he swallows some sedatives and falls asleep at his computer -- only to awake with the beginning of his play glowing on the screen. Darius is now convinced he must kill in order to create, and starts murdering an ever-expanding variety of creatures in order to satisfy his now bloodthirsty muse.

Dame de la Poupliniere
The name of painter Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806) is synonymous for a kind of painting style which celebrates carefree romantic life, indoors and out. He was a painter during the final decades of the French monarchy. In this story, he and his brother Cyprien (Robin Renucci), who is an early pioneer in medical anatomy (he dissected corpses and made drawings of what he found in them), have fallen in love with the same woman, Marianne (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), a laundress. This attraction has not escaped the notice of Salmon d'Anglas (Sami Frey), a conniving nobleman, who has his heart set on getting revenge on Jean-Honore (Joachim de Almeida) for refusing his patronage and becoming the darling of the French court.
Isabelle's mother
Roland and Martine, once child stars in a TV series, have sunk into a life of crime. Answering an ad from Isabelle, a young girl seeking work with children, they abduct her with the intention of selling her into prostitution. At the last moment, having become fond of her, they relent and set out to take her home. She rebels, insisting that she enjoys their exciting life of stolen cars, stolen cheques, hotels and restaurants left without paying the bill, and the threesome become a formidable team. Then Isabelle's mood changes again and she disappears with a hitch-hiker. Worried over her future, Roland and Martine trace her to the town where she is about to get married and abduct her, this time from the church steps. Roaring off in a stolen ambulance, the three are happily on the run again.

Helene Nolin
Durante uma entrevista, Max Baumstein (Piccoli), respeitado presidente de uma organização humanitária, atira a sangue frio no embaixador paraguaio e o mata. Julgado por assassinato em primeiro grau, ele próprio explica: o embaixador era um ex-oficial nazista, responsável pelo extermínio de sua família.
Por que ele cometeu um ato que, aparentemente, anula os princípios que ele se esforçou tanto por defender? Eventualmente, ele revela um segredo sobre si mesmo que ele manteve escondido de sua esposa mais nova, Lina (Romy Schneider), e que de uma forma indireta também diz respeito a ela. É a conclusão de uma luta que começou muitas décadas antes, quando Elsa Wiener (Romy Schneider), uma cantora alemã exilada em Paris, sem dinheiro ou relações, uma refugiada entre muitos outros, enfrentou dois problemas difíceis: sobreviver em uma cidade estrangeira e salvar seu marido Michel das garras dos nazistas.
