Set in a French nightclub, the film replaces a plot with choreographed song‑and‑dance numbers that trace Parisian culture and politics from the 1920s to the 1980s. The cast—an ordinary waiter, a Nazi collaborator, and 1960s student protesters—appears in vignettes that celebrate and satirize icons, demons and social changes of twentieth‑century France.
