“A romance set in the summer of 1958.”

DramaRomance

It is the summer of 1958 in wealthy Lake Geneva, where an enigmatic young Frenchman begins an affair with a beautiful starlet under the watchful eye of her flamboyant elderly mentor. But in a season full of secrets, is truth the most elusive passion of all?

VIBE

A hushed, sun-drenched drama of unspoken desires and fleeting beauty. It feels like a whispered secret shared on a warm summer evening, steeped in the melancholy of what might have been.
