On a hot summer afternoon, a Parisian family escapes to the countryside to enjoy a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The story revolves around a young girl named Henriette, who, amid laughter and games, becomes the center of attention for two men: a passionate but somewhat inexperienced gardener and a mature, charming bourgeois. As the day progresses, the tension between desire, love, and reality intensifies, revealing the deep longings of each character.
Henriette's mother, concerned for her daughter's stability and reputation, tries to control her, while the father is a distant observer, more interested in having a good time than in emotional complications. With idyllic landscapes as a backdrop, the film captures the freshness and innocence of youth and the inevitable clash with the responsibilities of adult life.
Through subtle dialogues and masterful direction, we are presented with a microcosm where dreams confront social expectations. The day ends unexpectedly, leaving Henriette at a crossroads that will mark the course of her life. The story is a beautiful tale about the ephemeral happiness of a summer romance, the loss of innocence, and the decisions that define our destiny. With stunning aesthetics and an evocative script, this work becomes a bittersweet portrait of youth and choice.
