A large benefit concert for the orphans of the First World War takes place at Marguerite Dumont’s (Catherine Frot) castle not far from Paris, where a large number of music lovers, family friends, acquaintances and the curious gather. Since the immensely rich hostess has no children, she has dedicated her entire life to her great passion: opera music. Because the Baroness sings. She sings from the heart, but also terribly strangely. But Marguerite lives in her own world, and the hypocritical audience, always ready to have fun at the expense of others, hails her as the diva she believes she is. When the young journalist Lucien Beaumont (Sylvain Dieuaide) publishes a provocatively exuberant article about her performance, Marguerite throws all self-doubts to the wind and begins to believe in her talent. This gives her the courage she needs to put a grandiose plan into action: a concert in front of a paying audience at the Paris Opera. Although her husband Georges (André Marcon) tries to talk her out of this ambitious project, which can only end in disaster, Marguerite hires a cynical and washed-up opera star, Atos Pezzini (Michel Fau), as her singing teacher. He is supposed to train her hopelessly inharmonic voice within a few weeks and thus enable her to achieve the stage triumph that she has dreamed of for many years…
