Movie description:

Ali, 15, and Selim, 12, are spending their summer holidays in Dordogne with their grandparents, André and Françoise. It’s a unique and unrepeatable moment for the different generations. For Ali, it’s time to leave childhood behind and experience his first summer love. For Françoise, now reaching the end of her life, this summer will be the last moments of happiness shared with her loved ones: a last dance.

Summer holidays, the first great love and a family secret. When the 15-year-old Parisian Ali travels to the country with his little brother Selim on the bus to his grandparents, he is anything but enthusiastic. But Ali does not know yet that he will meet the handsome Réjane through his childhood friend Pierre and that his grandfather André is hiding something from the whole family. In the end it will be an unforgettable summer, but Ali will also have to grow up and take responsibility.
