A film location scout is shown around a repossessed, crumbling French château. Over the course of the afternoon, he slowly falls for both the place and the owner’s flirtatious representative as she recounts the story of a famous book set there. But is their present day connection for real, or just a projection of the book’s 17th century characters?
