Amelie er ikke en jente som de andre. Han har sett gullfisken sin gli ned i kommunale kloakk, moren hans døde på Notre-Dame-plassen og faren viet all sin kjærlighet til en hage-nisse. Plutselig, ved tjueto, oppdager han målet sitt i livet: å fikse andres liv. Fra da av oppfinner han alle slags strategier for å gripe inn, uten å innse det, i eksistensen av flere mennesker i sitt miljø. Blant dem er portieren hans, som bruker dagene på å drikke portvin; Georgette, et hypokondriakalt tjern: eller "krystallmannen", en nabo som bare ser verden gjennom gjengivelsen av et Renoir-maleri.

Carlos is a young student, just 21. Nice or annoying as he likes, enjoys provoking and transgreding. In the night he goes out to meet his friends in the Kronen, a bar. Every situation can be taken a little farther. There are no limits, no accepted barriers. And more each time, each adventure is chained to the next, as if it were a continuous night. A long description of people: grandfather, parents, sister, girlfriend, friends. And, among that, the obscure will of living every minute as if it were the last one. But something which happens puts Carlos and his friend against a reality they have been trying to ignore.
