Three French sisters have their lives interrupted and their relationship called into question when their father returns to visit 15 years after having abandoned them and their now-deceased mother. Each responds differently to his return according to how her character evolved from her relation with him and his unexpected departure. They eventually realize, though, that the somewhat elderly father is quickly losing his memory and his ability to function, and the youngest daughter's decision to accept him again while she can ends up permanently changing her family ties with her sisters.

安东尼（丹尼尔·奥图 Daniel Auteuil 饰）是酒吧的酒保，一天深夜下班回家的路上，他遇见了正在寻死的路易斯（何塞·加西亚 José Garcia 饰），安东尼将路易斯从死亡线上救了回来，可是被救后的路易斯并没有非常感激安东尼的意思，因为对他来说，一了百了的死掉比痛苦的活着也许要更好一些。
看到路易斯痛苦的模样，安东尼感到非常的自责，于是开始在各种各样的事情上对路易斯伸出援手。当安东尼得知路易斯痛苦的根源在一个名叫布兰奇（桑德利那·吉贝尔兰 Sandrine Kiberlain 饰）的身上时，他决定去找这个女人。而当他真的看到这个女人时，便已经被这个女人魅力所征服。
