Static paintings brimming with life. Actor Pascal Tagnati's debut feature film, shot on location in Corsica with a mixture of non-professional actors and locals in what appears to be a sequence of scenes showing local customs in summertime. Is it fiction, is it a documentary? It is undoubtedly a complex puzzle portraying the energy of summer and the complexity of the human landscape: passions, tourists, love affairs, voyeurism, youth and a luminous time that seems to get suspended for just a moment.
