The film concentrates more on the period spent in hospital than the original novel, and emphasizes the horror of the friends' injuries. On Adrien's arrival at the ward, all the mirrors are removed and staff are instructed not to give any to him, but we see from the expressions on the faces of others just how bad the damage is. Adrien becomes increasingly desperate to see the damage done to his face, even asking a visitor to draw a picture of him. Dupeyron ensures that we do not see the horrifying extent of Adrien's injuries until the moment that he himself does - by looking at his reflection in a window pane.

Laure is a 10-year-old child whose family moves to a new address in Paris. One day Laure sees a group of boys playing outside the window and goes to play with them, but they disappear quickly. Instead, Laure meets Lisa, a neighborhood girl, and Laure introduces himself as Mikäel. Lisa then introduces Mikäel to the rest of the neighborhood children stating that "he" is the new kid in the apartment complex. A bath scene in the film reveals that Mikäel has a vagina, and a following scene confirms that Mikäel was assigned female at birth as his mom addresses him and his sister as "girls." Mikäel becomes friends with Lisa and the boys and tries to hide his genitalia to appear like a boy (make it seem that he has a penis). At one point this leads Mikäel to pee his pants, which originally makes him embarrassed, but is soon forgotten. As they all play, Lisa and Mikäel develop crushes on each other and after swimming one day, Lisa kisses him. At this point, Mikäel also seems to be accepted into the group of boys.

À Hénart, dans le Pas-de-Calais, Pauline Duhez est infirmière libérale. Tous les jours, elle est confrontée à la misère sociale, à la disparition des services publics, tout en jonglant avec une vie personnelle bien remplie : son père, ancien métallurgiste malade de l'amiante dont elle s'occupe, et ses enfants, qu'elle élève seule. Un jour, le docteur Philippe Berthier, médecin fortuné et ancien député européen, lui propose de se présenter aux élections municipales en tête de la liste du Rassemblement national populaire (RNP), un mouvement populiste fondé par Agnès Dorgelle, présidente du Bloc Patriotique, un parti d'extrême-droite. Réticente, Pauline se laisse séduire par le discours de la présidente du RNP, à la fibre sociale et en appelant au peuple, du docteur Berthier, qui évoque la notoriété et l'empathie de Pauline, et le soutien de ses amis, dont certains se révèlent ouvertement racistes. Après avoir accepté d'être candidate, la vie de Pauline change radicalement, certains de ses proches se détournent d'elle et elle n'est plus la bienvenue chez certains de ses patients.

It appears that all of them were killed in a subsequent battle, but Mathilde, the fiancée of one of the soldiers, refuses to give up hope and begins to uncover clues as to what actually took place on the battlefield. She is all the while driven by the constant reminder of what her fiancé had carved into one of the bells of the church near their home, MMM for Manech Aime Mathilde (Manech Loves Mathilde; a pun on the French word aime, which is pronounced like the letter "M". In the English-language version, this is changed to "Manech's Marrying Mathilde").

In the early years of the Second World War, aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis is struggling to develop a means of attacking Germany's dams in the hope of crippling German heavy industry. Working for the Ministry of Aircraft Production, as well as doing his own job at Vickers, he works feverishly to make practical his theory of a bouncing bomb which would skip over the water to avoid protective torpedo nets. When it came into contact with the dam, it would sink before exploding, making it much more destructive. Wallis calculates that the aircraft will have to fly extremely low (150 feet (46 m)) to enable the bombs to skip over the water correctly, but when he takes his conclusions to the Ministry, he is told that lack of production capacity means they cannot go ahead with his proposals.
