En 1894, le capitaine Alfred Dreyfus, officier français de confession juive, est condamné à la déportation à vie pour avoir fourni des documents secrets à l'Allemagne. Le commandant Marie-Georges Picquart, promu lieutenant-colonel et chef du Deuxième Bureau, découvre que le commandant Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy espionne pour l'Allemagne et que son propre adjoint, Hubert Henry, sait que le véritable traître n'est pas Dreyfus mais Esterhazy, surnommé Dubois. Par devoir et sens de l'honneur, Picquart refuse d'obéir à ses chefs qui lui ordonnent d'étouffer l'affaire. Il est menacé, arrêté, emprisonné, mais persiste jusqu'à ce que la vérité éclate et que Dreyfus soit libéré et réhabilité. Pendant douze ans, cette « affaire » déchire la France de la Troisième République et fait scandale dans le monde entier.

Born on the day of the death of renowned composer Giuseppe Verdi—27 January 1901—Alfredo Berlinghieri and Olmo Dalcò come from opposite ends of the social spectrum. Alfredo is from a family of landowners led by his populist grandfather (also called Alfredo), while Olmo is an illegitimate peasant. Olmo's grandfather, Leo, is the foreman and peasants' strong man who verbally and spiritually carries out a duel of wits with grandfather Alfredo. As Alfredo is somewhat rebellious and despises the falseness of his family, in particular his weak but abusive and cynical father Giovanni, he befriends Olmo, who was raised as a socialist.

The film takes place in 1671. In the prelude to the Franco-Dutch War, a financially struggling Louis II de Bourbon, Prince de Condé is visited by King Louis XIV for three days of festivities at the Château de Chantilly.. The prince wants a commission as a general, and spares no expense in order to impress the king. In charge of organizing the event is François Vatel, Master of Festivities and Pleasures in the prince's household. Vatel is a man of great honor and talent, but of low birth. As the great Condé is prepared to do anything in his quest for stature, the tasks assigned to Vatel are often menial and dishonourable. While Vatel tries to sustain dignity amidst the extravaganza he is meant to orchestrate, he finds himself in love with Anne de Montausier, the king's latest lover, who returns his affections. However, due to their incompatible social standing and the rigid hierarchy of the court, continuing the liaison is clearly impossible. The movie ends with Vatel realizing that he is nothing more than a puppet in the hands of his superiors, bought and sold like a piece of property: he consequently commits suicide. Vatel throws himself on his sword because the roast was not sufficient to feed several unexpected guests, the clouds dulled the fireworks display and he lacked confidence that there would be enough fish for the morning meal. Anne de Montausier is grief-stricken upon hearing the news but she must not speak of it. In doing so, she flees the court quietly and no one ever knew about her and Vatel.

The film begins in the spring of 1794, when the Reign of Terror was in full swing. On the borders of Paris, any vehicles entering Paris, including the carriage of Danton, who has just ridden in, are being searched. Robespierre, meanwhile, is sick in his bed. His landlady's daughter, Éléonore Duplay, attempts to comfort him, but is unable to. Her nephew, whom she is taking care of, is meanwhile being made to memorize lines from the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Back in the streets of Paris, starving lines of people, waiting for bread, discuss the possible reasons for the lack of it. Whether or not it is an enemy plot, the people do know that they are hungry, and that hunger leads to revolt. Once the bread store actually opens, and they finally begin to receive their bread, they are distracted by their other source of faith and hope in life: Danton. As Robespierre is watching, Danton is swarmed by a mob of supporters and fans, who all cry out for help. Robespierre, in his flat, is visited by Heron, the chief of the secret police, and instructs him to destroy the print shop of Camille Desmoulins, who is publishing pro-Dantonist circulars.

Le film raconte, sur une période de 19 ans (de 1994 à 2013), l'histoire de Marco (Alban Lenoir) et de ses acolytes, Braguette (Samuel Jouy), Grand-Guy (Paul Hamy) et Marvin (Olivier Chenille). Ils sont ce que l'on appelle des skinheads et passent leurs journées à cogner des noirs et des arabes, à se battre contre des punks et des redskins, et à coller des affiches de l'extrême-droite. Mais peu à peu, au fil des années, Marco se remet en question et décide de se repentir, de devenir quelqu'un de bien et d'abandonner cette haine et ce mépris. On va alors suivre le parcours d'un homme essayant par tous les moyens d'abandonner la colère, la violence et la bêtise qui le rongent pendant qu'autour de lui, à l'inverse, la société se radicalise de plus en plus et plusieurs personnes de son entourage, notamment sa petite amie et un de ses amis, tous deux décidés à garder leurs idéaux racistes, xénophobes, islamophobes, homophobes..., ne le reconnaissent plus.

En Indochine, en 1945, Robert Tassen, jeune militaire français, est le seul survivant miraculeux d'un massacre dans lequel son frère a péri sous ses yeux. Il arrive à s'extraire du charnier macabre et après avoir erré dans la jungle, il rejoint l'armée, rempli de vengeance. Mais il a du mal à s’intégrer avec des soldats désabusés ou cyniques, dépassés par la cruauté des actions des viet-minh. Robert s'engage alors dans une quête obsessionnelle et secrète à la recherche des assassins. Il obtient de constituer un commando informel de vietcong prisonniers repentis et part à la recherche de Yo Binn Yen, le responsable du massacre et d'autres atrocités commises contre des civils. Pourtant, sa rencontre avec Maï, une jeune prostituée Indochinoise, pourrait ébranler ses certitudes.
