Medea Georgievna Sinoply Mendez is an iconic figure in her Crimean village, the last remaining pure-blooded Greek in a family that has lived on that coast for centuries.
Childless Medea is the touchstone of a large family, which gathers each spring and summer at her home.
There are her nieces (sexy Nike and shy Masha), her nephew Georgii (who shares Medea's devotion to the Crimea), and their friends.
In this single summer, the languor of love will permeate the Crimean air, hearts will be brok.
