Every morning, François, a bailiff, bids goodbye to his wife and begins the unpleasant task of evictions. However this morning, September 11th, the usual course of events is upset when, having arrived at one of the apartments, he coincidentally falls hostage to its tenants. In a wink of an eye the neighbourhood is surrounded by the usual crowd – François wife, a committed negotiator, police, snipers, and reporters. Little by little the local residents become annoyed by the irritating presence of the mob, and the captors realize there is a rather strange but possibly one chance to escape.

A young Dutch woman wanders through the rainy Irish landscape, as if forming a conspirational partnership with the austere nature. However, the duo is interrupted by the third – a man in his prime, leading a lonely existence on a beautiful island, ostensibly driven by his stubbornness. They make a deal: she will work for him only for a share of food, he will not ask any questions. Only work, nothing personal. However, as time goes by, both are stirred by natural curiosity, shattering the monotony of the everyday routine. Who will be the first to break the promise to keep the relationship free of anything personal?

Legend has it that director Raoul Ruiz once asked Marcello Mastroianni, which role he would like to play, and the actor responded – a professor, a tramp and a servant. But the film "Three Lives and Only One Death" is not that simple as the initial impression of three separate stories disappears when the previous story characters randomly start to appear in the next story. Raoul Ruiz with distinguishing ease merges the stories and Marcello Mastroianni in his penultimate role performs magnificently.
