Julie Bataille is fed up with student jobs. At 23, with a 5-years university degree, she wants to work for real. She meets Ben by chance at a job interview. He's a guy who chose to live by the day, getting by with whatever crosses his path and small-time trafficking. Ben asks her to come and spend the summer with him in the South. Julie declines. Then one day, on an impulse, she leaves everything behind and joins him.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative film about the intoxicating pull of a spontaneous life and the search for love. It feels like a sun-drenched, bittersweet memory of youthful abandon and the risks taken for a chance at something real.
