A warm, character-driven summer story about childhood friendship tested by new romance, grounded in the bittersweet textures of growing up and confronting the past.

Childhood pals Dog and Mirales live in a little village in the south of France and spend their days just hanging out. To kill time, Mirales has got into the habit of teasing Dog mercilessly. But this summer is different: Dog meets Elsa and romance blossoms.
