Paris, 1939.

A visionary artist returning from Broadway bought an old printing house to create the cabaret of the century. Petrified of ambitions, idealism, love of the stage but without financial resources, he surrounds himself as he can with a young and pretty old prostitute waitress, a lighting poet, a revolutionary painter and a young Polish street singer whom he hires to perform the show.

All these slightly broken beings who evolve in a climate between the two wars, with the urgency to live and the rise of Nazism in the background will be recognized in their common quest, creation and “Art”, this cabaret which, every evening, will offer the people a place of celebration and joy. To love, to take a revenge, to honor a promise, to avenge oneself, to exist differently than expected, to start again… The show will be grandiose!
