During the summer of 1872, a famous writer in low hours and his young niece are spending a few days on vacation in a spa town near the Catalan Pyrenees. During this stay, uncle and niece will share conversations and situations that will transform not only the quiet local life, but also their own existences. Especially that of Caroline, called Lilinne by her uncle, the novelist Gustave Flaubert. A niece who, educated and married within a bourgeois and seemingly advanced society, becomes aware of her freedom and is open to experiment, defying customs, taboos and conventions. Various circumstances and environmental setbacks, such as a great drought, a strange heat wave and appalling crimes, will contribute to turning this story of conflicting feelings and ideas into a story full of misfortunes, hidden interests and dark obsessions.
