Seven 25-year-old friends spend a few days in the town where they grew up—some still live there, while others have come back—and sense their time together may be ending.

The story

In August, seven 25-year-old friends find themselves spending a few days in the town where they grew up, in Hauts-de-Seine, in the southwestern suburbs of Paris. Each has a different reason for being there: some still live there, while others have come back for family reasons. Some look for traces of a persistent adolescence; others may hope to escape idleness or find love. The story follows them individually and as a group over a week, through the deserted streets of the ghost town. As the days pass beneath the deep blue August sky, each senses their shared moments may be the last.

For a week, we follow them both separately and as a group. In the deserted streets of this ghost town, as the days slip by beneath August’s deep blue sky, each carries the intuition that these moments together may be the last...
