In Blue Binoche is Julie de Courcy, a woman who loses her composer husband and their daughter Anna in a car crash at the opening of the movie. Fleeing her old life and her lover Olivier, she tries to start over, taking an apartment in a working class area of Paris.

White is the story of Karol Karol, a Polish hairdresser living in Paris and married to Dominique Vidal, a French coiffure. She leaves him because of his failure to consummate their union. The movie begins with a number of humiliations, as Karol loses his marriage, his finances and his dignity through the divorce hearing and his (now ex-) wife immediately taking a lover.

In Red Valentine is a young model living in Geneva. Because of a dog she ran over, she meets a retired judge who spies his neighbours' phone calls, not for money but to feed his cynicism. The film is the story of relationships between some human beings, Valentine and the judge, but also other people who may not be aware of the relationship they have with Valentine or/and the old judge.
