Summary

An artist dreams of his formerly-happy life ten years earlier in Antibes on the south of France where he first met his wife, fell in love and created paintings that he was proud of. Now his life feels empty and without meaning and his art is stymied. He decides a change of scenery is in order and decides to move with his wife and their young daughter to a bucolic ranch in the hills of central California. What follows is his attempt to pull together the pieces of his life into some semblance of what they had before.
