Literary and culinary road-movie mystery of the heart, with a blind map-maker at the centre of a web of synchronicity.
Spring 1977, 28 year-old Aurélie Pêguissoux sets off alone on the train from Paris to Brittany, with her braille books, tactile Scrabble kit and cello. Her journey's purpose is to rediscover the places and loved-ones of her childhood summers, and to come to terms with her recent loss of sight.
Starting out in Brest, she visits her family's hometowns, all dotted along the North Brittany coast. She terminates her journey in Dinard, unaware that her lifelong fascinations with postcards, twins and the stars will soon explode, as others - strangers all - head towards Newquay, Dinard's twin-town.
Dafydd, a Welsh film-maker, he's also in Dinard, sent to France by his father to find his brother Sean, who went missing there ten years before. His only lead, a trail of cryptic postcards, one from Nantes and three from places he's barely heard of.
Aurélie and Dafydd bump into each other, and embark on a journey through France in search of Sean. By cracking the codes on the cryptic cards, they manage to find his house, but not him. On the way back to Aurélie's home in Paris something in the stars over Newquay prompts her to suggest a change of direction.
