En octobre 1999, Frédérick Muller, un sylviculteur du Loiret d'origine alsacienne, taciturne et passionné de Wagner, n'assiste pas à l'enterrement de son fils aîné Charles, laissant ses proches dans l'incompréhension et la colère, notamment son plus jeune fils Guillaume. Quelques semaines plus tard il décide d'expliquer son geste au moment d'un repas familial. Charles, son fils décédé, savait le secret que son père gardait depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Alors jeune homme, Frédérick avait été incarcéré en 1941 plus d'un an au camp de Schirmeck en Alsace non pas pour des opinions politiques comme la légende familiale l'affirme depuis 50 ans, mais en application par les autorités françaises des lois de discrimination et de déportation des homosexuels du paragraphe 175 du code pénal allemand. Charles connaissant la réalité, avait dès lors méprisé son père et lui avait enjoint de taire ce secret et de ne pas assister à ses funérailles. Marianne, sa femme qui a toujours connu la vérité, avait accepté cette situation et, malgré tout, avait construit sa famille avec cet homme qu'elle aimait, et qu'elle laissait libre de vivre une vie amoureuse parallèle. Le choc de cette révélation s'abat sur Guillaume et Delphine, la fille de Charles.

Mai 1968. Catherine, Yves et Hervé sont tous les trois étudiants à la Sorbonne. Ils ont 20 ans et forment un trio amoureux. Les révoltes de mai vont radicalement changer leur vie. Catherine se fait avorter clandestinement et manque de mourir. Dans l’élan des émeutes, les trois amis décident avec des camarades de partir s’installer dans le Lot, près de Figeac, pour fonder une communauté. Au début, ils vivent « d’amour et d’eau fraîche » mais sont vite rappelés à la réalité par le manque d’argent et la dureté du travail à la ferme. La volonté de s’accomplir individuellement les sépare. Catherine se retrouve seule avec ses deux enfants, Ludmilla et Boris, car même Yves, leur père, est retourné à Paris. Elle résiste, aidée par Maryse, une voisine qui a un fils, Christophe, du même âge que sa fille. Le film énumère les aventures de la communauté jusqu'à nos jours, au travers des faits socialement marquants des différentes périodes, avec par exemple 1989 et la chute du mur de Berlin. Cette année-là, les enfants quittent la ferme : Ludmilla épouse Farivar, un Iranien ; Boris et Christophe, homosexuels, vivent ensemble. Mais arrive le sida et le scandale du sang contaminé. Boris s'engage dans le combat des sans papiers de l'église Saint-Bernard et rencontre Vincent, un volontaire chez Aides avec qui il rêve de mariage et d’adoption. Quant à Catherine, elle ne veut toujours pas quitter le Lot et renoncer à ses idéaux des années 1970.

The story takes place involving three different people who all work together in the same supermarket over the 24 hour period leading up to Christmas. Ronna (Sarah Polley) is broke and about to be evicted from her apartment. Despite having worked for 14 hours, she agrees to take her British co-worker Simon's (Desmond Askew) shift. While working, she's approached by two men, Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr), who ask if she can come up with 20 hits of ecstasy, which they were hoping to buy from Simon. Realizing she can make some money from the deal, she goes to Simon's dealer Todd Gaines (Timothy Olyphant). Because she doesn't have enough money, Ronna has to leave her friend and co-worker Claire (Katie Holmes) with Todd until she makes her deal. Once she tries to make the deal, she grows suspicious when Burke (William Fichtner), a person she never met before and who is with Adam and Zack, presses her for the drugs. In a panic, she flushes the drugs down the toilet and manages to get out. Ronna then swaps the pills she flushed with aspirin pills she steals with the help of Mannie (Nathan Bexton), Ronna and Claire's friend (and also co-worker in the supermarket), who had swallowed two of the pills without knowing their strength. Ronna hands off the pills to Todd and she, Claire and Mannie make their way to a rave party. Todd soon realizes that he's been given fake pills and goes after Ronna. Mannie sees Todd coming and Ronna hides Mannie when he starts to become sick. In the parking lot of the party Todd confronts Ronna, but before he can shoot her a car runs her over and dumps her off the side of a small cliff, leaving her fate unknown.
