Summary:
It starts on a summer evening, with the kind of magic found only in Paris. Once a year in the City of Light, a lavish dinner takes place outside a spectacular landmark -- the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame... a new setting each time. Selected by secret invitation, the guests arrive dressed in white, with tables and chairs, white linens, flowers, fine china, sparkling crystal, and an elegant dinner. As the sun sets, thousands of candles are lit. And when the night is over, hundreds of white paper lanterns, each with a flame within, bearing everyones fervent wishes, are released into the sky. Amid this wondrous White Dinner, a group of close friends stands at the cusp of change. Jean-Philippe and Valerie Dumas are devoted to each other and their young children. He is a rising star in the financial world; she, an editor at French Vogue. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in China may lead to separation -- and temptation. The epitome of a stylish power couple from Milan, Benedetta and Gregorio Mariani run a venerable Italian clothing empire. Gregorio projects strength, but has a weakness that will ignite a crisis in their company and their marriage. Chantal Giverny, an award-winning screenwriter, and Dharam Singh, one of Indias most successful tech entrepreneurs, are singles paired for the evening. They arrive as friends, but their paths will be set on dramatically different courses before the White Dinner ends.

Entre los asistentes a la glamurosa Cena Blanca de París hay un grupo de amigos para los que nada volverá a ser como antes. Una oferta de trabajo pondrá a prueba a la pareja perfecta que forman Jean-Philippe Dumas, promesa del mundo de las finanzas, y su esposa Valerie, editora de Vogue. Dharam, un carismático empresario indio, acudirá solo, así como la guionista Chantal Giverny. Mientras queBenedetta y Gregorio Mariani, dueños de una firma de moda milanesa, se enfrentarán a partir de ese momento a una crisis en su relación y en su negocio. Acompañaremos a los personajes durante esa noche mágica y, dando la vuelta al mundo, también durante los 365 días siguientes, un año en el que nacerán nuevos amores y amistades y su vida cambiará para siempre.
