A young boy lives in a popular part of Paris with his mother...

In a building close to the Place de la Contrescarpe in Paris, a tale of criss‑crossings in turn romantic, gourmet, interested or mystical, between an Italian gigolo and a nightclub hostess, a family of butchers and an apprentice rocker, a mystic tailor, a writer sending himself telegrams, an alert paralytic woman, a thoughtful concierge, a bird breeder and a just‑out‑of‑jail hooligan. Little by little each one discovers each other’s more or less troubled history… when a mysterious death introduces the Police within this huis clos, hastens disclosure of well‑kept secrets and ruffle this little World.

In a girls boarding-school run by Madame Piégeois, young Gisèle meets, at night, the count of Champrès' son.

Passing for crazy and locked up, the CEO of a company escapes from the asylum and claims that he is the captain of a troop of pirates. To the disappointment of the director of the company and in the company of three employees, he accomplishes many extravagances which will be beneficial for his acolytes.

The eccentric characters of a street from the comic designs of Andre Dubout are brought to life with human performers instead of drawings.

The struggle of a female doctor against superstition and healers.
