Richard (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young American man with a love of world travel, arrives in Bangkok, Thailand in search of adventure. At his guesthouse he briefly meets Daffy (Robert Carlyle), a mentally disturbed Scottish traveler who tells him of a pristine island in the Gulf of Thailand, uninhabited and forbidden, on which there lies a beautiful hidden beach and lagoon - walled in by cliffs and untouched by the tourist industry. He explains in vague terms that he settled there in secret with a group of others, but that difficulties arose and he chose to leave. Later, Richard finds a hand-drawn map showing the island's location left for him; he then enters Daffy's room to find him dead by suicide.

Alexandre Beck is a doctor who has slowly been putting his life back together after his wife Margot was murdered by a serial killer. Eight years on, Alex is doing well, until he finds himself implicated in a double homicide, which has plenty of evidence pointing to him as the killer – though he knows nothing of the crimes. The same day, Alex receives an email that appears to be from Margot, which includes a link to a surveillance video clip that features his late wife looking alive and well. The message warns Alex that they are both being watched. He struggles to stay one step ahead of the law, while henchmen intimidate Alex's friends into telling them whatever they might know about him – the henchmen eventually kill one of them, Charlotte. In the meantime, Alex's sister Anne persuades her well-off wife Hélène to hire a respected attorney, Élisabeth Feldman, to handle Alex's case.

The story takes place in March 1944 in a small French village. The children from the neighbouring villages of Longeverne and Velrans have been waging this merciless war as long as anyone can remember: the buttons of all the little prisoners' clothes are removed so that they head home almost naked, vanquished and humiliated. Consequently, this conflict is known as the "War of the Buttons." The village that collects the most buttons will be declared the winner. Meanwhile, Violette, a young Jewish girl, has caught the eye of Lebrac, the chief of the Longeverne kids.

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 ».
