Midwinter envelopes a bleak and deserted coastal resort in sheets of freezing rain. Mathieu (Jérémie Elkaïm) - young, shy and introverted - returns to the place where he fell in love. Eighteen months ago, a family summer holiday catapulted him headfirst into a passionate teenage romance with the sensual, confident Cedric (Stéphane Rideau).
It all seems a lifetime away now. That chance meeting brought about a year of pleasure and passion, mixed with the torture and torment of first love. The pain and desire still burning within Mathieu can only embrace the future by reconciling with the past.
