A sun-soaked coming-of-age ensemble piece set in a Marseille summer camp, where a charismatic returning figure disrupts established social hierarchies and forces a group of young people to confront their identities and desires.

Marseille, the holidays. Omar, 20, oversees the children summer camp with his longtime friends. The adolescents are full of dreams, principles, and prejudices. When Carmen returns after years being away, the group dynamic is put to the test. In a group where reputation is everything, the electric and free spirit Carmen triggers everyone to question his own belief, desire, and sexuality.
