A man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. Scientists research time travel, hoping to send test subjects to different time periods "to call past and future to the rescue of the present". They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel. The scientists eventually settle upon the prisoner; his key to the past is a vague but obsessive memory from his pre-war childhood of a woman (Hélène Chatelain) he had seen on the observation platform ("the jetty") at Orly Airport shortly before witnessing a startling incident there. He had not understood exactly what happened but knew he had seen a man die.

Dès ses premiers jours à l'université Panthéon-Assas, elle est confrontée au professeur Pierre Mazard, connu pour ses provocations et ses méthodes particulières. Il a un accrochage avec une étudiante arrivée en retard, qui fait une entrée assez bruyante . Il demande à cette étudiante perturbatrice de lui donner son nom, puis de définir Prénom et Nom, puisqu'il n'est pas sensé , comme de juste de connaître tous les prénoms étrangers. Il fait aussi remarquer que le droit français a évolué depuis Napoléon I, contrairement à la Charia, ce qui est vrai. Il donne pour exemple le choix des prénoms, il plaisante : " avant il fallait choisir le prénom dans le calendrier, à présent on peut appeler son enfant Carte Orange". Du coup, assez bizarrement, il est accusé de racisme. Pour se racheter et un peu manipulé par le directeur de l'université qui « ne peut plus le couvrir », Pierre est contraint de préparer Neïla à un prestigieux concours d’éloquence. Malgré son cynisme et son exigence, Neïla semble trouver en Pierre le mentor dont elle avait besoin. Tous deux vont cependant devoir tout d'abord passer au-dessus de leurs préjugés respectifs.
