Pendant l'hiver 1942/1943, sous l'Occupation, une jeune femme devient l'accompagnatrice d'une grande cantatrice. Elle pénètre alors dans un monde qui ne lui est pas coutumier, où règnent le luxe, l'hypocrisie, les trahisons et les compromissions.
In 1942 Nazi-occupied Paris, a young and impoverished accompanist named Sophie Vasseur gets a job with famed singer Irene Brice. As Irene's possessive husband and manager, Charles, a businessman collaborating with the Nazis, wrestles with his conscience, the highly impressionable Sophie becomes obsessed with Irene, taking on the role of maid as well as accompanist, living life vicariously through Irene's triumphs and affairs, especially romantic. When Irene relocates to London, Sophie goes along, much to the discomfort of Charles.
