What happens in Micmacs from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Bazil, Dany Boon, is a boy whose future is shaped by a brutal memory: his father, a military man, is killed when a land mine explodes while trying to defuse it in the Western Sahara. Fast forward thirty years, and Bazil is a young man working in a Paris video rental shop when a stray bullet from a street shoot-out lodges in his forehead. Doctors save him but decide against removing the bullet, fearing further brain damage. He returns to work only to discover he has been replaced, and as he leaves, his replacement hands him a shell casing—the very fragment that marked his life’s turning point.
