With Paul Kircher, Angelina Woreth, Ludivine Sagnier.
August 1992. A sweltering afternoon in a forgotten valley of Eastern France, marked by its silent blast furnaces and its lake. Fourteen-year-old Anthony and his cousin try to escape their boredom by the water, where they meet Steph and Clem. For Anthony, this will become the summer of first love—the kind that defines everything. A bittersweet turning point, marking both the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood.
But there is also Hacine, a restless rebel from the neighborhood. And a stolen motorcycle that will upend Anthony’s world.
Over the course of four decisive summers, the lives of Anthony, Steph, and Hacine will intersect, collide, and intertwine. Amid the chaos, love will struggle to find its way…
Adapted from the eponymous novel by Nicolas Mathieu.
