Parijs, 1919. De Eerste Wereldoorlog is net afgelopen, en Margot Rosenthal is met haar vader - doe als ambassadeur voor Duitsland deelneemt aan de vredesconferentie in Versailles - afgereisd naar Frankrijk. Al wordt ze door sommigen gezien als de vijand, toch geniet ze van het ongebonden leven in een vreemd land. Ze sluit vriendschap met de mysterieuze Krysia, en ze wordt zelfs verliefd - op Georg, een knappe marineofficier. Terwijl regeringsleiders praten over een nieuwe wereldorde, schept zij voor zichzelf een nieuwe wereld vol mogelijkheden. Thuis zou haar liefde voor Georg onmogelijk, zelfs verboden, zijn. Hier durft ze zich eraan over te geven. Haar geluk duurt niet lang: het verdrag wordt gesloten, haar vader keert terug naar Duitsland, en zij moet met hem mee. Zal het haar lukken de draad van haar oude leven weer op te pakken, en kan ze aanvaarden dat ze Georg nooit meer zal zien?
