A tender, quietly tense summer story of first love and secrets, seen through a boy's eyes as he navigates small-town life and a hidden guest.

Pep, a 13-year-old boy, is in love with a girl from his grandparents village, Sara Amat. One summer night, Sara disappears without a trace. After a few hours, Pep finds her hiding in his room.
