In August 1914, Belle, a young well-bred lady and Betty, her chambermaid, discover a big trunk in the attic. When they manage to open it, thousands of photos and postcards spread all over the floor to form a pile of memories. Thus, the ladies start to reminisce about what was called "la Belle Époque".
