While Gil is under the spell of the French capital and plans to settle there, nor his bride, nor her future in-laws do not appreciate too much.

Gil runs through the city in search of inspiration for his next novel and, while the twelve strokes of midnight sounded, he was invited to ride in an old car which will carry into the Paris of the 1920s. Throughout the night, he will then meet Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Ernest Hemingway, Juan Belmonte, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, T. S. Eliot, Salvador Dalí, Luis Buñuel, Man Ray, Toulouse Lautrec, Henri Matisse ... It will gradually fall in love with Adriana, who is the muse of Picasso then after that of Modigliani.

Gil will separate from Inez and will remain in Paris, where he will meet a young contemporary loving him as the city in the rain.
