It's summer, but nobody uses the pool. Cleo mourns her sister while, in parallel, experiencing puberty’s effects on her body. A community of women offers her comfort and strength.

It starts with the suggestion of a tragic accident. As her mother then seeks solitude, 12-year-old Cleo is left on her own. Through her aunt and cousins, a new normality seems to slowly enter Cleo's life. Gentle is the murmur of the surrounding nature, warm are the colours.

The impressive debut of Argentinean director Sol Berruezo Pichon-Rivière paints a delicate picture of womanhood at different stages of life. Even behind the camera, only women worked on the film. The dreamy, elegiac atmosphere recalls Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides. A film charged with magical energy about the grief and initiation of a teenage girl.
