Париж, наше время. Жан приезжает к старшему брату, фотокорреспонденту Жоржу, а тот отправился на очередную войну. Жан знакомится с подругой брата, актрисой Анн, которая недовольна постоянными отлучками Жоржа и решила избавиться от их будущего ребенка.
Анн не спешит сообщать Жану новый код от входной двери, и он в расстроенных чувствах устраивает ссору на улице с африканцем Амаду и нелегальной румынской иммигранткой Марией. Прибывшая полиция арестовывает Амаду и депортирует Марию. В один миг неизвестный код роковым образом меняет судьбы людей и завязывает историю, похожую на многоцветье Парижа — города, который задает загадки и не дает ответов.

It’s December 1999, and 25-year-old Jonah has just graduated from film school. As the new millennium begins, Jonah marries his longtime sweetheart Lila. Over the course of six months, the couple meet a number of interesting people, including Irina, an exiled Russian actress, as well as spending their time with Jonah’s sister Cecile and his filmmaking mentor Anziano. The discussions Jonah has with these friends and strangers help him to gain some perspective on his life and the new millennium.
Juliette loves Bruno, but he does not notice. Perhaps because he is mad about Corinne, and Corinne is not aware of it. She does not seem to love anybody, but she has an affair with Luc. Luc is gay, and he wonders how to tell Bruno he loves him.
An indecisive, shy young woman is profiled in this French drama. Benedicte is 20 years old and lives with Henri who is considerably older. She is still haunted by two former loves, Pierre, whom she still cares for, and Paul, who still cares for her. She is faced with a major decision when she finds a bag filled with a fortune of francs and a gun. Should she keep it for herself, or should she return it? This question plagues her; she gets no help from family, friends, or lovers.
