Description:

In this introspective drama, Leon, a self-absorbed author, seeks solace and inspiration near the Baltic Sea with his best friend in order to complete his novel. However, upon arrival at their coastal abode, they discover an unconventional inhabitant: a free-spirited woman who unexpectedly shakes up their structured routines and pushes Leon to embrace vulnerability. As the summer unfolds, a backdrop of imminent wildfire threatens the idyllic surroundings and forces Leon and his friend to confront their own shortcomings and fears. Through the unpredictable interplay between the characters and the unpredictable forces of nature, this film explores themes of self-discovery, human connection, and our relationship with the natural world.
