Augusto and Paulina have been together and in love for 25 years. Eight years earlier, Augusto was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and his wife has since become his caretaker. As one of Chile's most prominent cultural commentators and television presenters, Augusto is no stranger to building an archive of memory, having been responsible for that herculean task following the Pinochet dictatorship and its systematic erasure of collective consciousness. Now he turns to the same challenge in his own life, trying to hold on to his identity with the help of his beloved partner.

Famed author Marianne Winckler (Juliette Binoche) goes undercover to investigate the exploitation of working class people in northern France. She eventually lands a job as a cleaner on the cross-channel ferry and develops close connections with the other cleaning women, many of whom have extremely limited resources and few opportunities. As she learns more about the plight of these workers, Marianne struggles with her deception and tries to rationalize that it's for the greater good.
