It’s the end of summer for seventeen-year-old Marouane, a quiet and reserved teen who has spent two weeks at a seaside campsite with his family. On the eve of departure, a sudden heat wave rolls in. People celebrate, grow restless, tempers flare, and off to the side, a clash between Marouane and another teen spirals into a deadly incident. Consumed by panic, he hides the body and pretends nothing happened. As his final moments at the campsite stretch endlessly, the net slowly closes in on him. Unable to see a way out, and even while he feels a spark with the magnetic Giulia, his thoughts keep drifting to just one thing: going home. Based on the novel “Heatwave”, by Victor Jestin.
