In the 80's, the sisters Anne and Tania are looking at the belongings of their deceased mother in a box and find a ring and the photo of her uncle Jean wearing the ring with their mother and Tania inside. Anne is a filmmaker and decides to research the story behind the ring. After the World War II, the Soviet Jewish Michel and Léna, who met each other at the Riversaltes Camp and married each other in a loveless wedding to leave the camp, apply for French citizenship since Michel was raised in France and joined the French Foreign Legion in the past. They move to Lyon, where Léna delivers their daughter Tania and Michel joins the Communist Party. When they receive their Frech citizenship, Michel opens a tailor's workshop and befriends Maurice, who is the leader of the party, and his unfaithful wife Madeleine, who cheats him with the young member of the party Paul. Out of the blue, his missing brother Jean, who was considered dead, appears at Michel's home. He welcomes Jean but tells Léna that he is not sure whether the man is Jean since he does not see him since they were boys. Michel hires Jean to work at the workshop and lodges him at home, and Jean helps him to be well-succeeded in business with new ideas, and soon he buys a car and a refrigerator. When Jean's friend Sacha appears at the tailor's workshop, Michel hires and lodges him too. However, they do not give explanation how they reach France and Michel suspects of them. But soon Léna feels attracted by Jean that does not wish to betray his brother.
