Montreal, summer. The nights are hotter than the days. Work is hard to find and rents are cheap. This is the land of the bohemian. This is the city where six lost young people live. Rita, who has survived a suicide attempt, gets around the city on roller skates, vandalizing cars, stealing records and selling drugs. She and her friend Roxan are squatters in an apartment. Roxan is a poor little rich girl who has decided that her mission in life is to take care of the homeless. Henriette is neurotic and seeks refuge in her parrot, her rabbit and her shrink.
When she happens to meet Lloyd, the provocative radio announcer, she falls madly in love with him. But Lloyd, a night owl, only has eyes for Loulou, a barmaid at the punk club he religiously frequents. A sad orphan, she lives with Marc who is incapable of soothing her pain. His work as a salesman in a liquor store keeps him from making his dream of becoming a musician come true.
