In the storeroom of the bakery where she works, twenty-seven-year-old Luna dreams of a Prince Charming and a life in a castle. On the same day, she will cross paths with a trash can full of dollar notes and a young man who stutters. What do we do with our childhood dreams when we are nearly thirty years old?

It is 1968 and Marianne is nineteen years old. She has been sent to a home for young girls, far from her family and friends. Here she meets other girls whose secrets have turned their lives upside down.

Fifteen-year-old Salomé works in the workshop of her father, a painter celebrated for his blue color. But for some time now her father has not been able to make his famous color, putting the workshop in danger. Salomé begins to hope that he will pass on to her his, up until now, jealously kept secret.

Anatole and his wife, both about seventy, have already lived together for fifty years. They still love each other, make love, joke about each other, avoid each other sometimes, laugh and row. Except that one morning, Anatole is discouraged. He has forgotten something important which he tries vainly to remember. Some things come back to him: an old debt, some panties and the name of flowers.
