During the Cultural Revolution in China in the mid-1960s, a French diplomat falls in love with a singer in the Beijing Opera. Interwoven with allusions to the Puccini opera "Madama Butterfly", a story of love and betrayal unfolds.
In 1964, in Beijing, the French Ambassaty accountant René Gallimard goes to a social event without his wife Jeanne Gallimard and meets the opera singer Song Liling. René becomes attracted to Song and soon he meets her at the local opera house. He falls in love with her and Song becomes his mistress. Meanwhile Ambassador Toulon promotes René to Vice-Consul and he becomes advisor for the French Intelligence. But Song has deep secrets that the naive René does not have any idea and believes is part of the Chinese culture.
