A bittersweet romantic fantasy about a man escaping a failing marriage by revisiting the magical week he fell in love, exploring whether the past can heal the present.

Victor, a disillusioned 60-something whose marriage is on the rocks, opts to relive the week of his life when, 40 years earlier, he met his true love through a company that allows customers to return to the time period of their choosing.
