A tender, melancholic coming-of-age story about a teenage girl confronting her impending blindness during a transformative summer, anchored by a fragile mother-daughter bond and an unexpected friendship.

Ava, 13, is spending the summer on the Atlantic coast when she learns that she will lose her sight sooner than expected. Her mother decides to act as if everything were normal so as to spend their best summer ever. Ava confronts the problem in her own way. She steals a big black dog that belongs to a young man on the run...
