Set on a French island in 1985, six teenagers experience a summer filled with desire, secrets, and deepening bonds before a sudden tragedy abruptly ends their carefree days. As the season unfolds, relationships intensify, revealing the fragile line between青春 and loss. Filippo Besson’s autobiographical tale delicately explores how a single summer night can leave a lasting, resonant imprint on a lifetime.
