When Jessica (rising star Cecile de France), decides to leave rural France in favour of the capital, her grandmother's words ring in her ear: "I always loved luxury, but I could not afford to live in it. I decided to work in it." A lovely bubbly young thing, Jessica charms her way into a job at an old-fashioned cafe in the highbrow theatre district in the 8th Arrondissement.
Surrounded by auction houses and theatres, she meets a variety of characters each struggling with their own lives: a popular soap star who is trying to break out of television; a concert pianist who is questioning his direction; and an aging financier who is closing a chapter of his life by auctioning his extensive modern art collection.
As she encounters these people, Jessica finds she is caught up in their lives, their loves and their art, and the true value of her grandmother's words.
