Exploring themes of desire and nostalgia, this narrative follows a Canadian woman's introspective journey in a Parisian studio, where she documents her experiences in a unique journal. Rather than engaging with the city as a typical tourist, she observes life through her window and on television, grappling with the tension between Paris's cultural heritage and the realities of Western imperialism. Her reflections weave together art, philosophy, and personal identity, revealing her struggle to reconcile the city's enchanting past with its contemporary complexities.
