On the 10th anniversary of the assassination of the king, his reclusive widow, the Queen, arrives to spend the night at the castle of Krantz. Stanislas, a young anarchist poet who seeks to assassinate her, enters her room, wounded; he looks exactly like the dead king, and the Queen shelters him instead of handing him over to the police. She sees him as the welcome embodiment of her own death, calling him Azrael (the angel of death). An ambiguous love develops between them, uniting them in a bid to outwit the machinations of the court politicians, represented by the Comte de Foëhn, the chief of police, and Édith de Berg, the Queen's companion. In order to remain true to their ideals and to each other, the Queen and Stanislas have to play their parts in a bizarre private tragedy, which the world will never understand.

Le temps des cerises évoque le clivage entre de riches industriels qui fraudent le fisc, et des ouvriers vivant dans la misère, au cours de quatre époques différentes (1895, 1900, 1914, 1937). Le temps de la narration est rythmé par les trois Expositions universelles qui se sont tenues à Paris : l'Exposition universelle de Paris de 1889, celle de 1900 et celle de 1937..

Louise (Danielle Darrieux) is an aristocratic woman of Belle Époque Paris, married to André (Charles Boyer), both a count and a high-ranking French army general. Louise is a beautiful, but spoiled and superficial, woman who has amassed debts due to her lifestyle. She arranges to secretly sell her costly heart-shaped diamond earrings, a wedding present from her husband, to the original jeweler, Mr Rémy (Jean Debucourt). Relations between Louise and André are companionable, but they sleep in separate beds, have no children, and André has a secret mistress, of whom he has recently tired. Louise disguises the disappearance of the earrings by pretending to have lost them at the opera. The search for them eventually reaches the newspapers ("Theft at the Theatre") which in turn prompts Rémy to go to André and "discreetly" offer to sell them back. He accepts cheerfully and, rather than confront his wife, coolly gifts the earrings to his mistress, Lola (Lia Di Leo) whom he happens to be seeing off permanently to Constantinople.

Une version de la tragique histoire de Rodolphe de Habsbourg et de la baronne Marie Vetsera, décédés, dans de mystérieuses circonstances, à Mayerling, près de Vienne en Autriche. Bien que la thèse officielle soit le suicide, on parla aussi d’assassinat politique, en raison du soutien de l'archiduc à la cause du nationalisme hongrois. Delannoy et son scénariste Jacques Rémy présentent la retraite de l’archiduc à Mayerling comme la préparation d’un coup d’État qui aurait échoué. Les services officiels auraient alors fait assassiner le couple en maquillant cette exécution en suicide.

Le film porte une vision des évènements de 1789-1793 et de leurs conséquences avec une bienveillante compassion pour la reine (Michèle Morgan), sensible, superbe dans sa splendeur et vulnérable dans son intimité, déchirée entre sa fidélité au roi (Jacques Morel) et sa passion pour Fersen (Richard Todd).
