A woman spends a couple of hours drifting around Paris while she waits for the results of a biopsy that will tell her whether or not she has cancer. That's the setup, and that's pretty much the film. So she goes to a couple of cafes, and an art studio, and a cinema, and a park. Spends time with a soldier and a couple of songwriters and a nude model. Gets her fortune told and tries on a few hats. Then the doctor tells her how the test came out and the movie ends. "Fin," as they say in French. Also, there are a couple of cute kittens and a guy who eats live frogs and a little kid in an alley playing a toy piano and Paris looks real good in black and white.
