Two girls, a hot summer, the desire to get away from a small provincial town. Luisa is full of life, uninhibited, transgressive; Renata is dark, angry, in need of love. The lives of the two young people tell the story of blackmail, of a love betrayed, of a violence: Luisa uses Bilal, her albanian boyfriend, Renata uses the body of Luisa to move the threads of his revenge. Both want to leave the small community that has grown between parties of the country and independence rallies, helpless families and new generations of migrants targeted by those who feel increasingly threatened. Luisa, Renata and Bilal will risk getting lost, to lose a precious part of himself, to lose those they love, to lose his life.
