Description
A woman's search for independence takes her to the French Riviera, but she soon discovers that freedom is not as straightforward as she had imagined.
Separated from her husband and with her young son away, Ellen leaves behind the loneliness of London for a new life of excitement and sexual freedom. However, as she navigates this new world, she must confront the complexities of her own desires and the challenges of living alone.
This simmering tale is a powerful exploration of one woman's journey towards self-discovery in a place where the boundaries between pleasure and pain are blurred.
