Paris. King Juan Carlos I offers a diner at Hôtel Crillon. Diana (Ana Belén) meets Santi (Juanjo Puigcorbé), an old lover, who now is the King's bodyguard.

She hides under John Lennon's bed because she's in love with the singer. But, what starts is an attraction between them.

Both are married, but the love goes on...
