Summer is near and classes are coming to an end in an old industrial town on the edge of a bay. Leo, a young and frustrated girl, meets Steve, a reclusive and aimless guitarist. Leo lives with her mother and her stepfather Paul, a populist radio show host who pushed her father into a northern exile. Sylvain, Leo’s father, is a fallen union leader whom she greatly misses. A stranger in her own world, frustrated and angry, it is through her budding relationship with Steve, set to the rhythm of their guitar lessons and her new summer job, that she’ll be able to find some kind of comfort and ultimately take flight.
