- The 'philosopher' (modernist intellectual of the French 18th-century Enlightenment) Denis Diderot is part of an aristocratic circle which practices the libertarian principles on the rural castle estate of the baron of Holbach, and prints their forbidden publication, the Encyclopédie, drowning the noise of the presses in Jewish assistant Abraham's organ playing. Then arrives Madame Therbouche, a flirtatious painter, from the Prussian metropolis Berlin, and convinces Diderot to pose for her more daring then his idol fellow-philosopher Voltaire in Berlin: in the nude, leading to an animated row with his wife Antoinette, still naked except for a very unsteady sheet, all over the estate's park. Worse, the saucy scene is witnessed by a feared visitor, Holbach's brother the Cardinal, who is hunting for the illegal Encyclopaedia printers; to divert him, the baroness confesses her real and imagined sins since years and next sends in every female to do the same, later joined spontaneously by chevalier (marquis in the end credits) de Jerfeuil, who got a livelier show the he bargained for when accepting to be shown two inseparable marquis's 'sabre collection' which proves not of the military variety. The baroness also treats her guests to (then) most exotic foods and naughty pictures, yet even for her the freedman Turkish hamam eunuch Mohamed takes hospitality for female guests too far into intimate massage to their taste. His personal experience keeps changing Diderot's ideas, and therefore the article he is writing on 'morale' (morality). Secrets end up getting out, both the portraitist's true agenda and what goes on in the chapel, which the Cardinal finally gets into to 'recollect himself' after hearing so many unsettling lustful sins...

- In the hot summer of 1940 the German troops are just outside Paris, and numerous Parisians are leaving the city in a complete panic. Luce Ader, the sensitive daughter of a factory owner, decides somewhat belatedly to escape as well, together with her arrogant fiancé Bruno. Since they have a luxury automobile, the elderly society lady Diane Lessing decides to join them, and brings along the sensitive homosexual diplomat Loïc Lhermitte with her. The four of them finally leave the city in the hopelessly overloaded luxury car, only to get stuck in the middle of a seemingly endless column of refugees along a dusty road outside Paris. During an attack by German dive-bombers their chauffeur, Jean, is shot dead, and the car is severely damaged. Traveling any farther is now out of the question. A young farmer named Maurice, although he is injured himself, gives the four of them a ride in his cart and takes them to the dirty little farm run by his resolute mother Arlette. At first the Parisians are appalled at the squalor of country life, and when Arlette actually urges them to work in the fields they start wondering how to get away. Bruno, in particular, regards manual labor as quite beneath him. He tries to get away on foot, but soon collapses with exhaustion, and Arlette has to pick him up and bring him back in a cart. Meanwhile Luce has grown accustomed to the farm, and is beginning to enjoy country life... Eventually she and Maurice have a passionate affair. Loïc, too, slowly starts to appreciate the positive aspects of his new environment. At a large festival at the farm, city and country openly make peace with one another. Even Diane and Bruno are converted now. At this point the local landowner, a naive landed aristocrat, threatens to drive Arlette and the others off his land: she has stopped making any profit during the war and has failed to pay the count any rent for quite some time now. The Parisians now make use of their worldly knowledge to save the farm. Eventually they manage to embroil the greedy count in a risky poker game, and succeed in winning not only the farm but also his car. Just then Pétain announces the "ceasefire" over the radio. The effusive Parisians take their leave of Arlette and Maurice, get into their new car and drive back to Paris, straight into the arms of the Germans.
- Antoine and his father are in the road by night. It could have been a holiday road till a man crossed their way.
