A meditative family drama set in a Mediterranean villa where a dying father's legacy is tested by the arrival of refugees, blending intimate grief with moral reckoning.

By a little bay near Marseille lies a picturesque villa owned by an old man. His three children have gathered by his side for his last days. It’s time for them to weigh up what they have inherited of their father’s ideals and the community spirit he created in this magical place. The arrival, at a nearby cove, of a group of boat people will throw these moments of reflection into turmoil.
