Winner of the Silver Bear of the Grand Jury Prize, Berlin International Film Festival 2023
A small vacation home on the Baltic Sea. The days are warm and it hasn't rained in weeks. Four young people gather, friends old and new. The dry forests around them begin to blaze, as their emotions. Happiness, lust and love, but also jealousies, resentments and tensions. Meanwhile, the forests burn. And very soon, the flames are there.
