Richard explores glaciers, while Natascha explores people. As an author, she not only writes about them but also immerses herself in their lives. One day, she opens her home to a family fleeing the war from Damascus. And Richard? He continues to desert his own existence, dreaming of Canada and doubting every aspect of daily life, politics, love, and life itself. This portrait of a summer full of new beginnings tells the story of a middle-aged couple, the passage of time, transformation, and aging. Yet after reading this book, one realizes: it's not just about the years to come; it's about every moment of life.
