Czy miłość i piękno przetrwają czas okupacji? Paryż, rok 1939. Miasto Świateł ogarnia mrok. Dla Sandrine Paquet wojna zmieniła wszystko. Jej mąż zaginął na froncie, a szczęśliwe, pełne blasku życie stało się jedynie mglistym wspomnieniem. Tymczasem z polecenia nazistów Sandrine kataloguje dzieła sztuki kradzione żydowskim rodzinom, w tajemnicy przekazując informacje na ich temat francuskiemu ruchowi oporu. Pewnego dnia otrzymuje skrzynkę zawierającą suknię Chanel z zagadkową wiadomością... Lila de Laurent, krawcowa dotychczas pracująca w domu mody Chanel, z dnia na dzień traci pracę – firma zamyka się w chwili, gdy do Paryża wkraczają Niemcy. Szykowne bale, praca u słynnej projektantki, uczucie do René Touliarda zastępują wojenna rzeczywistość, codzienna walka o przetrwanie i świadomość, że dawny ukochany kolaboruje z wrogiem. Wkrótce pod pretekstem szycia kreacji dla żon i kochanek niemieckich żołnierzy krawcowa zbiera informacje, które mogą zaważyć na losach Francji. Czy Sandrine i Christian się odnajdą? Czy Lila przeżyje? Czy odkryje, co ukrywa René? Czy dawni kochankowie odzyskają utraconą miłość?
