Bothered by the monotony of the chewy small-town summer holidays, Tati longs for one last adventure with her friends.
When her mother stands in the way of her desire for freedom, Tati takes off and finds refuge with her best friend. There, between hot concrete and a swimming lake, youthful recklessness mixes with the fear of missing out and, fuelled by canned beer and euphoria, culminates in a fight against the sunrise.
