Synopsis

Summer is near and classes are coming to an end
in a former industrial town on the end of a large bay.

Léo, a young and disaffected girl, meets Steve,
a reclusive and aimless guitarist. Léo lives with
her mother and stepfather Paul, a populist radio
show host who forced her father into exile up
north. Sylvain, Léo’s father, is a dethroned union
leader whom she greatly misses.

A stranger in her own world, frustrated and angry,
it is through her budding relationship with Steve,
set to the rhythm of their guitar lessons and her
new summer job, that she’ll be able to find some
kind of comfort and ultimately take flight.
