Roselyne de Nobili

Fifteen years after leaving Corsica, Marie and Daniel return to visit their elderly grandfather. Looking to capture their reunion, they pick up the family camcorder, but what they uncover is far from what they expected.

Summer in Corsica. In a Corsican village nestled in the mountains everyone experiences summer in his or her own way: children play, teenagers flirt, and the elders comment on the passage of time at their local bar. In the August heat, it doesn't take long for tensions to rise as one family struggles to keep grudges from bubbling to the surface. Sometimes a spark is all that is needed to set the maquis alight.

A small town in the Mediterranean wakes up. Antonia takes refuge and loses herself in the arms of young lover because she isn't managing to mourn her dead husband. Isabelle, an actress, struggles against a disease. Paola is a lawyer who defends women's rights. For her, seducing a man is a challenge laid down, and the challenges follow one after the other. Anghjula, a stay-at-home mother, must also mourn her husband even though he's still alive. Maria stays the course by hook or by crook in her domestic and professional life. Five friends who together chase after their lives.

Mistakenly landed in Corsica, Mehret, a young woman in exile, is forced to cross the island to to reach Italy. Survival and walking are her only concerns, the East coast her destination.

In the village of Santa Maria Poggio, in Haute-Corse, far from their native Japan, Kyoko and Yutaro, two lovers, are at a loss. They decide to spend the day apart.
