A parable of the missteps of life enacted in the hothouse world of late 1980’s New York, in which the art market and the stock market each boomed, and in process spawned a smorgasbord of “yuppie” delusions which still persist. Anna, a French actress studying in New York, crosses paths with a successful stock-broker, Mark, standing before a Vermeer portrait at the Metropolitan, thence ensues a peculiar romance of missed meanings and connections, with tangential asides to the steaming arts world and stock market, loft-mate conflicts, and, perhaps, love. Wrapped up in their blindered worlds, Anna and Mark deflect away from their chances, leaving at the conclusion the wistful face of Vermeer’s portrait enigmatically asking questions. All the Vermeers in New York is a comedy of manners which, as gently as a Vermeer, looks beneath the skin of this time and place, and of these characters.

Jeanne is a woman who is driven by her very active conscience. She attempts to assuage her idealistic bent by trying out life as a nun, but this doesn't work out. After she leaves the convent, she takes a job at a factory, where the callousness of management spurs her to become a labor activist. Her efforts are marked by great persistence and fervor, but she lacks any kind of diplomacy or persuasiveness, and as the years progress, she manages to alienate everyone in her life. By the end of the film, there is only one way that she can see to resolve the horrible situation she finds herself in.

Известный американский карикатурист Джой Уэлмэн приезжает на выставку в Париж, где должны, в частности, демонстрироваться его работы. Для Уэлмэна это, прежде всего, возможность встретится с дочерью, которая давно переехала во французскую столицу, чтобы изучать в Сорбонне литературу, совершив тем самым своеобразный "побег в европейскую культуру". Уэлмену же, "американцу до мозга костей", эта культура не близка, так что, приехав в Париж, он скоро начинает собираться домой. Его задерживает в Париже литературовед Готье, являющийся большим поклонником американского карикатуриста и одновременно идолом дочери Уэлмена, к которому она никак не может пробиться...
