After fleeing gym class, 17-year-old Simon unexpectedly ends up on a riverbank with a group of enigmatic youths. Isolated and uneasy, he finally finds a connection when he meets Marie. Together, they break free from the group's tense dynamics and venture into the timeless, otherworldly realm of the nearby riparian forest. Through evocative imagery and mystical nature scenes, the film delves into the delicate balance between individuality and belonging.

I would like to give a glimpse of something that counters the existential loneliness of our human present. Ultimately, redemption lies in the encounter.
