Charlotte
In the summer of 1976, in Durrës, three young friends spend their days at the beach and their evenings surrounded by music, until the arrival of Charlotte disrupts the balance within the group. Free-spirited and unpredictable, Charlotte grows close to Martin, sparking curiosity, tension and questions among the others. Between desire, friendship and unease, a night of celebration becomes the moment when what seemed like a game reveals deeper consequences.
