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.
