Synopsis

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 the parched forests around them begin to ignite, so do their emotions. Happiness, lust, and love; but also jealousies, resentments, and tensions. Meanwhile, the forests burn. And before long, the flames are there.
