While on his summer vacation, a woman daily walking her dog, captures the eyes of Dimitri. She is unaware of his gaze or the fact that she is gently shuttering his heart. Later they will meet, talk, laugh, and on a night of passion he will discover her unhappy marriage. The summer is ending, they will meet again from time to time, but the problem will always remain.
