Twenty-five-year-old Chiara has always wished she knew her father, thought to have died in a tragic accident before she was born.

When she learns by chance that her biological father could in fact be a Frenchman living on the island of Groix, Chiara sets off for the summer of a lifetime, leaving behind only three letters in her wake.
