Fourteen-year-old Sami (Samy Seghir) is a beur (a French person of North African descent) living in Chalon-sur-Saône, a relatively poor city in the Burgundy region. When his widowed mother (Farida Khelfa) takes a job working on a boat, she sends Sami to live with her sister Djamila (Rachida Brakni), who is married to Frenchman Stanislas de Chazelle (Denis Podalydès). They live in the upscale neighborhood of Neuilly-sur-Seine, an affluent suburb of Paris, with Stanislas' two children from his prior marriage: Charles (Jérémy Denisty), who aspires to be a politician someday, and Caroline (Chloé Coulloud). At first Charles resents Sami's presence in his house, but they gradually become friends. Sami enrolls in classes at Saint-Exupéry, a private school there.

Ancien dessinateur, Victor est aujourd'hui un sexagénaire désabusé. Son mariage avec Marianne bat de l'aile et il est désintéressé et dépassé par ce monde moderne trop technologique. Pour lui remonter le moral, son fils Maxime lui paie une soirée organisée par la société de son ami Antoine. Cette société propose à ses clients de revivre l'époque de leur choix, en mélangeant artifices théâtraux et reconstitution historique. Certains clients, fortunés, choisissent ainsi de passer une soirée avec William Faulkner, Adolf Hitler ou avec des aristocrates au XVII siècle. D'abord réticent, Victor accepte quand Marianne le met à la porte. Il opte alors pour replonger dans la semaine la plus marquante de sa vie, celle où il rencontra le grand amour, quarante ans auparavant, le 16 mai 1974, dans le café La Belle Époque à Lyon. Dans cette « mise en scène », Marianne est incarnée par Margot, une comédienne qui vit une relation compliquée et tumultueuse avec Antoine. Ce dernier, ancien scénariste, est très pointilleux et ne supporte aucune approximation de la part de ses collaborateurs. Peu à peu, Victor va se prêter au jeu, jusqu'à se perdre dans ces souvenirs « reconstitués ».
