Alexis, an emergency doctor who worked in hot spots for eight years, returns to his homeland, Brittany, after being wounded. He is physically exhausted and mentally exhausted, constantly haunted by the memories of the unfortunate victims of wars, whom, despite all his dedication, he was never able to help. At the request of a friend, he goes to the island of Groix to temporarily replace a local doctor who needs urgent surgery. In this paradise, where people live a simple, measured life, he meets Olivia and her little daughter. Olivia is engaged in therapeutic massage and at first meets Alexis with hostility - he seems arrogant and unsociable to her. But Olivia herself, who has experienced a love drama, is in no hurry to let anyone into her life. She and Alexis have one thing in common - it is easier for them to help others than to think about how to help themselves. But here the island of Groix itself intervenes in the matter with its delightful nature and cute, albeit sometimes eccentric inhabitants...
