After Corbin inherits the family villa and dismisses his father with the modest beach cabin, Eugene packs up his life and drives to the coast expecting nothing but abandonment and silence. Instead, he finds the cabin lived-in, fragrant with lavender, and filled with photographs of his late wife Rosalind smiling beside a younger woman he’s never met, someone she had clearly been quietly supporting for years.
