Nicole cannot sleep. The heatwave enveloping the small town near Montreal in Quebec seems like a good enough reason for her to slack off from her boring summer job and dream of going to Iceland. Alongside her best friend Veronique, they have surrendered themselves to the tranquility and monotony of the summer holiday, suspending the passage of time amidst their daily routines. The sudden return of Nicole's brother, who comes home with his music band to record an album, seems to have slightly altered this introverted, ordinary world filled with small pleasures. Nicole is not concerned with anything else but the flow of time. Growing up and the peculiarities of small-town life are the exquisite complements to this backdrop. Stéphane Lafleur captures the beauty and humorous moments hidden behind small-city life in this third film, creating a small-scale masterpiece. With its whimsical and melancholic narrative, the film showcases all the shades of black and white with utmost emotional depth.
