Wilfrid can no longer bear his loneliness. Something has to change. He wants everything, and he wants it now: brotherhood and love. A conviction begins to take shape: fate must be forced in order to bring the desired community into being.

Thomas and Francis kidnap Wilfrid, the owner of a carwash. Surprisingly, he is delighted with being kidnapped, this company that imposes itself on him comes to brighten his own lonely life.

The beaches of Saint-Jean-de-Monts, a small coastal region of the French Loire, fill up with tourists in summer. But when fall arrives, its great hotels and luxurious spa-resorts become deserted. A situation which Leo takes advantage of to live far away from everything and everybody.

At her grandmother's house, with her daughter, Lucie dreams of being an actress.

During a languid and peaceful summer in the 17th century, six young women dream of love. Directly or indirectly, each of them will experiment with the delights and torments of romance–desire and rejection, idealized and consummated love... Nina and Eulalie are sisters who share a strong bond. Eulalie, the eldest, is waiting for the return of her fiancé, who has left to seek his fortune in the Americas, while Nina seems to have nothing to wait for. Through nine chapters, we follow the destiny of each of these young women as they are finally confronted with the reality of a world and an era in which being a woman means not being free. Nina and Eulalie weave their way through each of these stories as they endeavor to understand and perhaps escape the inevitability of their fate as women.
