South of France, nowadays.
A heatwave bears down on a suburban neighborhood. Birds fall from their nests, a fire initiate. During 24 hours at the family’s house, a minor disagreement between Kiki and her partner spirals into a succession of unsettling outbursts. Through her daughter’s eyes, Kiki will be held in grip, caught between breaking away and falling back into a toxic pattern from which she cannot seem to escape.
