• Drama

A languid summer unfolds in the countryside as Lane navigates the aftermath of a personal crisis, shadowed by a web of unspoken affections and quiet desperation. Confined to a rural retreat with her best friend, Stephanie, and newly blended family, Lane finds herself at the center of a subtly agonizing romantic entanglement: her own hidden feelings for Stephanie’s object of desire, Peter, while enduring the gentle, unrequited affection of neighbor Howard. The film doesn’t focus on dramatic declarations, but on the aching silences and strained politenesses that reveal the weight of unfulfilled longing and the complexities of rebuilding intimacy after trauma. It’s a study in passive observation, portraying heartache not through grand gestures, but through stolen glances and the heavy atmosphere of a season slipping away, ultimately exploring the isolating nature of desire and the tentative steps toward self-acceptance.
