In the city of Hy res, in the heart of the C te d'Azur, Aydan, a young Turkish journalist meets a former local resident, Antoine, vacationing with family. Sharing a love of art and literature, they explore the legendary homes of Hy res's famous residents: arts patrons the Count and Countess Noailles, American novelist Edith Wharton, and British author Robert-Louis Stevenson. As they converse about contemporary issues in the East and West, they delicately navigate common and contrasting perspectives. But is Aydan's visit to the South of France only about capturing the dialogue between these two cultures? Or is her quest more personal? As their intimacy grows, Aydan confesses her secret.
