August 1992. A lost valley somewhere in the East, blast furnaces that no longer burn, a lake, a hot afternoon. Anthony is fourteen, and with his cousin, to kill the boredom, he decides to steal a canoe and go see what's happening on the other side, on the famous bare-ass beach. In the end, it's Anthony's first love, his first summer, the one that decides everything. It's the drama of life as it begins.
