It's the summer of 1985 in Eguisheim, a small village in southern France. Amongst the lush, fruity landscapes, golden summers, overlooking crystal waters, lives sixteen year old Theodore, the son of a professor and a housekeeper, spends his days reading books, playing the piano, and roaming around the countryside surrounding the small village that he calls home. Diana is a seventeen year old, American girl who has come to vacation in her family's French country estate. While Diana plays records and shoots photos trying to pass her time in the unamusing village, she stumbles upon the shy Theodore. Amid the sun drenched splender of the setting, Theodore and Diana discover the bursting beauty of awakening desire over the course of a summer which will embed its self in their minds forever as if it were a Midsummer Night's Dream.
