Synopsis

By the Sea

Set in France during the mid-1970s, Vanessa, a former dancer, and her husband Roland, an American writer, travel the country together. They seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/café-keeper and a hotel owner.

Where the Wind Blows

Chase, a rugged cowboy and solitary drifter who closed off his heart long ago—until the day he impulsively does a kindness for a beautiful young woman, and everything changes over the course of three days.
