the heart of Annecy, Cess's boutique is a place where garments respond to the deepest desires of the heart. When widower Julien tries on a long coat, he is transported to a world where his late wife never died. At first, perfection surrounds him, but the longer he stays, the more he realizes that even ideal worlds carry loss. Packed with quiet magic, emotional depth, and the transformative power of honesty, The Winter Seam is a story of grief, love, and the choices that shape our lives.
