Synopsis

A modern drama freely based on real events. One sweltering afternoon in the south of France, four lives intersect: those of Stéphane and Luigi, two cousins barely out of adolescence, Georges, a retired worker, Amelie, Luigi’s girlfriend, and Anne, Amelie’s mother.

Our take

Starring a luminous pre-Portrait Adèle Haenel, this sizzling drama unfolds on a single swelteringly hot day in southern France. Jean-Jacques Jauffret’s debut feature, which screened in the Directors’ Fortnight, intersects four stories and propels them towards a devastating conclusion.
