This is a story about hope and disaster, about the belief that there is a perfect place to live, and about harsh reality. The heroine of the novel dreams of returning to the beautiful island of her childhood, which, according to descriptions, is very similar to Corsica. She convinces herself and her loved ones that they need to build a house on a picturesque cliff above the sea - it will be their personal paradise, a quiet refuge that will save them from the storms of life. She does everything in her power—and sometimes even more—to make the house finally become a reality. But the years go by. The further it goes, the more unsolvable circumstances hinder the completion of construction. Is real home really not where we are looking for it? Only when illusions are completely lost does the time come for happiness.
