Fifteen-year-old Rita lives in a world full of fantasy and imagination. In the sweltering afternoons of a Portuguese summer, Rita and her best friend Sara live out their adventures within and around their apartment building. The arrival of a mysterious new neighbour makes Rita’s heart beat and inspires her to indulge in daydreams about life and the world. Adolescence and the dream of impossible love turn a quiet Lisbon neighbourhood in a magical and amazing place, like a Malaysian island in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Reality and imagination intermingle in this ironic and eccentric reconstruction of two teenagers’ hot summer.
