Features: The story takes place on the dreamlike French Saint Pierre and Miquelon island, which overlooks the United States and Canada across the sea. A single woman named Joana, who lives on the island, runs a struggling hair salon. Her lover Paul visits the island briefly during the winter and summer solstices each year, promising to divorce and marry her in the future. At 40, she remains innocent, and her monotonous days pass in anticipation and waiting.
