Markus Lee travels to Normandy to draw bridges for an art magazine, bridges that played a crucial role in the Allied landings in the summer of 1944. He takes his fifteen-year-old nephew Jesse along, whose best friend's family looks after an abandoned beach hotel. The trip is overshadowed by grief for Jesse's mother Ira, whose suicide brother and son must each come to terms with alone. In the enchanted atmosphere of the Hotel L'Angleterre, a short stay turns into months of time out, between the living and the dead, past and present, private grief and the deaths of thousands of soldiers.
