In the heart of an elegant French mansion during a warm weekend, a group of aristocrats gathers to enjoy their privileged existence and, of course, a bit of clandestine fun. The host, a charming yet somewhat cynical count, invites several friends and lovers, among whom the servants glide, imbued with their own emotional complications.
Soon, tensions begin to arise among the attendees, revealing the intricate games of seduction and jealousy that characterize their social life. Against a backdrop of impending war in the air, the characters distract themselves with their romantic entanglements while chaos and intrigue unfold in the mansion. A young man and his beloved find themselves caught in this whirlwind of passions, misunderstandings, and secret revelations.
What starts as an innocent game soon becomes a biting reflection of the decay of high society. Amid laughter and drama, the film transforms into a mirror of the human condition, exploring themes of class, morality, and the inherent dissatisfaction of life. At the end of the chaos, what seemed to be a lavish getaway turns into a sharp critique of the superficiality and hedonism of the elite, leaving all the characters, including the less privileged, facing the consequences of their choices. The festive atmosphere takes on a tragicomic hue, reminding us that behind the glamorous façade, we all carry our own internal struggles.
