CGiii Comment

Every summer, Safia returns to Corsica to visit her dad. Ever since she left the island years before, she has kept her distance. On the surface, she seems close to her family, but a secret is stopping them from connecting. This summer, an announcement is going to shake up the family and take Safia on an unexpected journey of self-discovery on the winding and rocky roads of the Mediterranean island.


Depuis qu’elle a quitté la Corse où elle a grandi, Safia, 29 ans, n’a jamais dit à son père son homosexualité. Un soir d’été, elle brise le secret et s’enfuit.
