The film follows the lives of six Parisians whose lives and stories intersect; Nicole and her unemployed drunken fiancee Dan, their estate agent Thierry, his religious assistant Charlotte, who works as a part-time carer for suave bar-tender Lionel's bad tempered father and Thierry's sister Gaelle. All of them live in a lonely emotional hole, seeking love and companionship, but unable to find any. Their backgrounds are only hinted at and their lives, like the constantly falling snow, are blurred and cold.
