La bonne du Père Antoine
O filme acompanha quatro famílias, de diferentes nacionalidades (francesa, alemã, russa e americana), mas com a mesma paixão pela música, das décadas de 1930 a 1960. As várias linhas da história se cruzam repetidamente em diferentes lugares e épocas, com suas próprias partituras temáticas que evoluem com o passar do tempo. O principal acontecimento do filme é a Segunda Guerra Mundial, que reúne as histórias das quatro famílias musicais e mistura seus destinos. Embora todos os personagens sejam fictícios, muitos deles são vagamente baseados em ícones musicais históricos (Édith Piaf, Josephine Baker, Herbert von Karajan, Glenn Miller, Rudolf Nureyev, etc.) A sequência de dança do Boléro no final reúne todos os fios.

The prostitute's mother (uncredited)
An off-beat, uneven tale about a man intent on suicide and the three people who try to talk him out of it, Pantalaskas stars American Carl Studer in the title role of the morose, would-be suicide. Set in Paris and taking place over an entire night, the story has a complication in that the trio who want to prevent the suicide do not speak the man's language -- he is Lithuanian and speaks no French. So the protagonists comb the underbelly of a nighttime Paris, looking high and low but mostly low for anyone who speaks Lithuanian. Depending mainly on dialogue for its impact, the verbose drama reveals how the protagonists undergo a transformation as the night wears on.
