Years later, in the wake of World War I, Clare returns to France to help create facial prostheses for wounded soldiers. One of the wary veterans who comes to the studio is none other than Luc. After war and so many years apart, can Clare and Luc recapture how they felt at the edge of that long-ago summer?
