A small holiday house by the Baltic Sea. The days are hot and it hasn’t rained in weeks. Four young people come together, friends old and new. As that parched forests around them begin to ignite, so do their emotions. Happiness, lust and love; but also jealousies, resentment, and tension. Meanwhile the forests burn. And before long, the flames are there. 

All films at CEFF are presented in their original language with English subtitles.
