In 1918, a newsreel cameraman dies in the war after learning he has become the father of David Goldman. Being Jewish, David is deported in 1940 and, on the train back, he meets Rachel Stern, who will become his wife; they have a daughter, Sarah. When Rachel dies in childbirth, David becomes a wealthy shoe manufacturer and devotes himself lovingly to his daughter, whom he nevertheless spoils excessively. Sarah, in love with the famous singer Gilbert Bécaud (playing himself in the film), thanks to her father manages to become his companion for a time. Hurt by the singer's infidelity, Sarah is consoled by her father with a trip around the world, which leaves the young woman rather disenchanted and disillusioned. After her father's death, she carries out extremely bold reforms and renunciations in the company, of which she becomes president, sparking protests from the unions. Meanwhile, Simon Duroc, a petty thief, learns photography while in prison and befriends Charles. Once released, followed by his partner, he becomes a star in advertising films and later an enthusiastic film director. After various life and love experiences, he meets Sarah by chance, and happiness awaits them on a Boeing 747 bound for New York.
