Un 21 juin, à Paris. Comme tous les ans, un groupe d'amis se retrouve lors d'un dîner, le jour de la Fête de la musique. Piotr, le mari de Marie-Laurence Claverne, une avocate débordée spécialisée dans le divorce, étant en congé sabbatique, est donc chargé d'organiser ce dîner. Hélas le repas ne se passe pas aussi bien que d'habitude, puisque le code a changé ; fini celui de la dictature de l'apparence, avec son lot de cordialité, d'hypocrisie et de fausse bonne humeur, qui cachait les angoisses sous l'humour et étouffait les chagrins avec des éclats de rire. L'avocat réputé Lucas Mattei se dispute avec sa femme Sarah. La gynécologue Mélanie Carcassonne décide que c'est le moment idéal pour avouer à son cancérologue de mari Alain sa liaison extra-conjugale avec un jockey. Juliette, la sœur de Marie-Laurence, vient avec un invité surprise, son nouveau compagnon Erwann, de trente ans son aîné. L'arrivée d'Henri, le père de Juliette et Marie-Laurence, est un bouleversement de plus, car lui et Juliette ne se parlent plus depuis deux ans.

During the late 16th century, Catholics and Protestant Huguenots are fighting over political control of France, which is ruled by the neurotic, hypochondriac King Charles IX (Jean-Hugues Anglade), and his mother, Catherine de' Medici (Virna Lisi), a scheming power player. Catherine decides to make an overture of goodwill by offering up her daughter Margot (Isabelle Adjani) in marriage to Henri de Bourbon (Daniel Auteuil), a prominent Huguenot and King of Navarre, although she also schemes to bring about the notorious St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572, when thousands of Protestants are slaughtered. The marriage goes forward but Margot, who does not love Henri, begins a passionate affair with the soldier La Môle (Vincent Pérez), also a Protestant from a well-to-do family. Murders by poisoning follow, as court intrigues multiply and Queen Catherine's villainous plotting to place her son the Duke of Anjou (Pascal Greggory) on the throne threatens the lives of La Môle, Margot and Henri of Navarre. A book with pages painted with arsenic is intended for Henri but instead causes the slow, agonizing death of King Charles. Henri escapes to Navarre and sends La Môle to fetch Margot, but Guise apprehends him. La Môle is beheaded in the Bastille before Margot can save him, and King Charles finally dies. Margot escapes carrying La Môle's embalmed head as Anjou is proclaimed King of France as Henry III.

Jessica has moved from her small Burgundian town of Mâcon to Paris to start a new life, inspired by her grandmother, Madame Roux, who "always loved luxury". In Paris, she initially has trouble finding work, and spends one evening without shelter. She eventually gets a job waitressing in a small café, the Bar des Théâtres, even though the café, following tradition, has never before hired female waiters. The owner hires Jessica only because he is expecting large crowds soon and needs staff. The café is in an area of Paris close by several artistic venues, including the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and a concert hall, on Avenue Montaigne. One of the backstage staff at the theatre, Claudie (Dani), helps to welcome Jessica to Paris.
