On the day of the open-air performance of Vincenzo Bellini's opera ‘Norma’ in 1974, a severe storm is blowing through the city of Orange in southern France. The much-anticipated event may have to be called off at the last moment.

In the face of these adverse conditions, the singer and musicians nevertheless decide to perform. It will be a legendary evening of music.
