The movie made after the hit series "De Kollega's" starring the same characters, but rather tragicomic. When November 11, an official holiday (Armistice), falls on a Tuesday, the public service often gets an extra day off on the preceding Monday, but only after a formal ministerial decision, and this time it gets all the way trough the hierarchy to the right office- and then isn't read, so all the colleagues turn up, only to be told they should have stayed at home. It gets worse: works in progress and clumsiness end up blocking the way out both by lift and staircase, so they are stuck on their floor, apparently without a phone, while there's nobody outside who can hear and rescue them. Forced to keep their conversation going, some secrets get unearthed, and it's not a very pretty picture they got of each-other.

A deranged doctor gets in to a car accident and burns beyond recognition. Years later he awakes from his coma and stalks a young male nurse and his girlfriend, killing everyone along the way.

A disjointed group of colleagues gets a new manager. For his ultimate plan to enhance their working attitude, he invites them to a team building weekend.

Ludovic, un jeune garçon délaissé par ses parents artistes, tombe amoureux de Sophie, la fille d'un professeur de piano. Ils se rencontrent dans des endroits secrets de la ville.

Sophie s'enfuit de chez lui pour le rejoindre, et ils se cachent au bord de la mer et dans des bâtiments abandonnés. Une fois retrouvés, leurs parents essaient de les séparer, mais ils tombent tous les deux dans une profonde dépression.
