Every word is sung and every step is choreographed in this film about sisters Delphine (Catherine Deneuve) and Solange (Francoise Dorleac). They help their mother Madam Yvonne (Danielle Darrieux) with her cafe in the Town Square and run a music and ballet school in Rochefort, France, in their spare time. Although happy while entertaining on stage, Delphine and Solange lack romance in their real lives. Now, the town's annual fair attracts new romantic possibilities in the form of painter Maxence (Jacques Perrin) and tourist Andy Miller (Gene Kelly) as songs and dancing fill the screen.
