After a failed attempt at working on a foreign film set, 26 year-old Ana returns to her hometown of Strasbourg.
Over the scorching summer that follows, she decides to replace her grandmother’s bathtub with a walk-in shower, eat peas and carrots with ketchup, drive a Porsche, harvest plums, lose her driver’s license, sleep with her best friend and get back together with her ex.
In short, over this particular summer, Ana tries to get her life together.
“Writer-director Rachel Lang and star Salome Richard manage to craft an intriguing feature debut filled with keen observations and slices of dark humor.” – Hollywood Reporter
“A very interesting film on multiple levels, but what impresses the most coming from this first-time feature director is how she balances and combines order and chaos, in terms of both subject matter and stylistic approach. Lang and Richard show great promise.” – Cineuropa
“Unified by a distinctive humour and intelligence, crisp visuals, and Richard’s intensely charismatic presence.” – Screen Daily
