A journey through a futuristic Paris, constructed of straight lines, modernist glass and steel high-rise buildings, multilane avenues, and cold, artificial interiors. Τwo characters keep bumping into each other in the course of a day: Barbara, a young American tourist visiting Paris with a group composed primarily of middle-aged American women, and Monsieur Hulot, a befuddled Frenchman lost in the new modernity of Paris.
