The sound documentary follows Eva, a Spanish tour guide living in Paris for the past 7 years. Eva conducts the Mysteries and Legends Tour every week in the heart of the city in Île Saint-Louis.The tour traces the dark history of Paris, where she introduces her audience to the violence that consumed the city in the Middle Ages.
