Description
Sometimes things are not always what they seem and the heart can often blind us to the truth.
Gitte is a forty-something successful French lawyer in Paris. Beautiful, intelligent, captivating and athletic. Who wouldn't fall in love with her? But...often we only see that which we want to see.
