It's late summer 1987, the beach becomes empty.
Gradually as the holiday-goers leave, the rolling waves intensify and the sound of the ocean is no longer muffled by laughter, screams, music or Dammit's yapping.
Before they too leave their beach houses, Nora is determined to film a summer that would remain exceptional: the dawn of new feelings for some, it would be the last that brought together all of the family and childhood friends.
Running over the sand in the last sunny days, the group of youngsters has only one question in mind: what will come of the incomplete love story between Tanya and Raphael, especially since they will find themselves in the same school after summer.
Through a moving and amusing love story, Hanaé Touati highlights the difficulties of living freely as a Moroccan woman, without cultural, social or religious pressure.
