On his way to a business lunch, the architect Michel Piccoli has a terrible car accident. In a semi-comatose condition, Piccoli remembers the recent events of his life: his relations with Romy Schneider with whom he should leave France and begin a new life in Tunisia, his ex-wife Léa Massari he still appreciates, and the happy times he share with his son.
