A Los Angeles, une Française, Emilie, séparée de l'homme qu'elle aime, cherche un logement pour elle et son fils de 8 ans, Martin. Elle en trouve un, y installe des meubles récupérés dans les déchets jetés à la rue. Son désarroi est plus exprimé par les autres qu'elle observe que par elle-même, vivant silencieusement un exil démultiplié. Elle tape à la machine face à l'océan. Quelques flashes de sa passion passée la troublent et elle consacre à son fils toute son affection.Actors

The film begins with the contorted body of the woman, covered in frost. From this image, an unseen and unheard interviewer (the voice of Varda herself) puts the camera on the last men to see her and the ones who found her. The action then flashes back to the woman, Mona (Sandrine Bonnaire) walking along the roadside, hiding from the police and trying to get a ride. Along her journey she meets and takes up with other vagabonds such as herself as well as a Tunisian vineyard worker, a family of goat farmers, a professor researching trees, and a maid who envies what she perceives to be a beautiful and passionate lifestyle. Mona explains to one of her temporary companions that at one time she had an office job in Paris and did very well for herself, but she became unsettled with the way she was living – choosing instead to wander the country free from any responsibility, picking up what she could to survive as she goes. Throughout the film, Mona's condition seems to become progressively worse until she finally falls where we first saw her, frozen and entrenched in her misery in a ditch.

François, a young carpenter working for his uncle, lives a comfortable and happy life in his marriage to his wife named Thérèse with which he has two seemingly perfect children, Pierrot and Gisou. Although finding abundant “le bonheur” in his marriage and indisputably loving his wife and children, François covetously pursues an extended happiness through an affair with a woman called Émilie whom he meets on a business trip. Émilie knows of and skeptically inquires François about his marriage to which he soothes her with charming words and continues in his infidelity. Finding love with Émilie in the afternoon and with Thérèse at night, François’ wife questions him on a family daytrip about the new level of happiness that he has experienced lately and which she has noticed. Finding himself unable to lie to his wife, François tells Thérèse the truth about his affair, but assures her that there is “more than enough happiness to go around, nothing has changed between them.” Thérèse is found dead shortly after hearing the news of her husband’s infidelity, news that essentially shatter her very character that is determined by her ability to feed her husband’s happiness. Left a widow, François responds with a short period of mourning followed by a continued pursuit of Émilie who gladly becomes his wife and the mother of his children. In completing his family with Émilie as a replacement for his late wife Thérèse, François’ life embodies a spirit of “le bonheur” once again despite his break with morality.

Dans l'île de Noirmoutier, un écrivain et son épouse s'installent dans un fort, où ils vivent en réduisant au minimum les contacts avec la population. La femme a perdu l'usage de la parole après un accident. Le mari est écrivain. À proximité vit un ingénieur retraité, misanthrope. Des faits troublants se produisent. Plusieurs habitants de l'île semblent perdre le contrôle d'eux-mêmes. Les réalités s'entremêlent : l'écrivain trouve un sujet pour un roman fantastique, tandis que l'ingénieur manipule les îliens à distance grâce à une machine de son invention. Les deux hommes se rencontrent pour une partie d'échecs capitale : le démiurge réel du monde imaginaire joue contre le démiurge probablement imaginaire du monde réel. L'enjeu et la fin de toute chose, c'est à la fois l'amour et la mort.
