    Summer comes to a sleepy industrial town and 17-year-old Léo is unhappy and frustrated. She despises her life with her mother and stepfather and is full of anger about a wrong done to her father. Things change when she forges an unlikely bond with a reclusive musician named Steve. Guitar lessons with Steve and a new summer job help Léo find comfort and begin to heal.

    The new film from Sebastian Pilote (Le Demantelement, 2013 Haifa IFF) is a beautifully crafted tale of elusive happiness.
