In zijn huis in een magisch-realistisch Parijs wordt hij omgeven door gekke uivindingen en het goede gezelschap van zijn beste vrienden Nicolas en Chick. Het enige dat nog mist is een grote liefde. Dan ontmoet hij Chloé. Maar na een spectaculaire bruiloft wordt hun idyllische huwelijk ruw verstoord door de bittere werkelijkheid wanneer Chloé ziek wordt van een waterlelie in haar long. Colin moet in steeds absurdere omstandigheden werken om Chloé te kunnen verzorgen. Ondertussen raakt hun appartement meer en meer in verval en valt hun groep vrienden uiteen. De film is een authentiek visueel spektakel van Michel Gondry.
