Program of two films: Rien sauf l'été by Claude Schmitz and Le film de l'été by Emmanuel Marre. Languid bodies in the middle of a garden, highway rest areas, flowers and gas stations, bike rides, birds chirping, a nightclub, a melon, a beer, a swim... with the sweetness and melancholy of any good summer interlude.
