SYNOPSIS

Feature Film – Fiction

A scorching summer stretches across the countryside and the city. In a lush landscape, Marie, a sound artist in search of inspiration, begins to question her relationship. The arrival of Noée, a young traveler, disrupts her routine and that of Yan, a solitary farmer next door. In the city, Eva, newly arrived from the Philippines, walks sleepless nights, caught between homes, while Jeanne, a master’s student, contemplates walking away from everything. As they go through moments of doubt and brief connections, their inner worlds quietly reflect one another. Linked by hopes and fears, they continue moving toward uncertainty.
