Roland Cassard is a young man with no job and seemingly no prospects. By chance, he runs into his former girlfriend Cecile, who works as a dancer at a cabaret under the stage name Lola. She is now a single mom and works hard to provide her young son with all of the necessities of life. Lola still hopes that her sons father Michel, the true love of her life, will someday return to them. Seeing Lola again confirms to Roland that hes still in love with her, but she doesnt return his feelings. He has also met Madame Desnoyer and her 14-year-old daughter, also called Cecile. Madame Desnoyer, a widow, is quite taken with Roland but he has little interest in her. Roland sees no future if he stays in France.
The intertwined stories, their connection unknown to the people involved, of a group of "les Nantais" are told, those stories of their hopes, dreams and aspirations especially in light of the unfulfilled or unsettled nature of their lives. These stories are centered on two people. The first is Roland Cassard, who considers himself the consummate failure. A perpetual daydreamer, he has just been fired from the latest in a long string of jobs despite being well-read. In light of that, he believes he is unable to find happiness in Nantes, despite not knowing what his future holds elsewhere. The second is Lola, a cabaret dancer and single mother to six year old Yvon. With the birth name Céline, Lola, somewhat flighty by nature, is going through the motions of life, which includes carousing with the sailors who frequent the cabaret, the latest being an American from Chicago named Frankie. Never expecting to see him ever again, she holds onto the memory of her first love Michel, Yvons biological father who left seven years ago upon news of her pregnancy and who was off to find his fortune in whatever form that may have taken. Roland and Lolas dreams may be realized when they, childhood friends, run into each other and reconnect after not having seen each other in fifteen years. In light of Lola having been Rolands first love, something he never divulged to her at the time, they may change or want to change the less than perfect plans for their immediate futures which would have satisfied at least a small part of their aspirations.
