Famed builder Le Notre is tasked with building an ethereal palace for King Louis XIV (Rickman) that transcends beauty. Le Notre hires Sabine de Barra (Winslet) to design and construct the outdoor ballroom, and is soon captivated by her beauty. Sabine is equally enthralled by Le Notre though she is struggling to deal with her past. Through the trials of building the garden the two artists come together.
As part of plans to move his royal court from the old Louvre to a grand new palace at Versailles, Sun king Louis XIV commissioned reputed symmetrical landscape architect André Le Notre to design and execute the gardens and other outdoor features. At his auditions for architect subcontractors, one outsider intrigues him, proposing original ideas against his principles of mathematical order. This Sabine de Barra intrigues him, enough to grant her the theatrical amphitheater ballroom, and jumps at her far less costly water re-use plans. They strike a friendship, compensating for his cold careerist courtier wife Françoises arrogance, while the kings brother due Philip of Orléans shows a romantic interest in provincial Sabine, who is gradually introduced at court, where she bonds with the declining royal mistress de Montespan. Chance matches the mourning king with the outspoken Sabine. Jealousy proves dangerous, with André ending up as her lover, dealing with her widowing trauma while completing the royal commission.
