A woman on the morning train tells that the full moon will lead Irene (Tautou) to her soulmate: from there Happenstance follows a marvelous interlocking series of events in which little things (like whether or not a young museum guard eats a piece of chocolate) affect bigger ones (like whether or not an adulterous husband will tell his wife the truth).

The film follows the lives of a homeless man, a young appliance store clerk, her female roommate, a barfly, a resourceful young man on his way to a job interview, a man who is two timing his wife and a handful of other characters who semi-intersect in the course of one long day in Paris.
