Synopsis


An ambitious young research psychologist, Indre,
who has reluctantly agreed to transport two
patients from one psychiatric unit to another in
exchange for research privileges at her clinic, finds
herself the leader of a rather rag-tag band on the
long journey to the sea. Outgoing Paulius is a young
man whose manic stage of his bipolar disorder
stands in great contrast to the introvert Juste
whose wounds are hidden from sight, but they
both struggle to fight the inner battles that define
them. As they all navigate the survival process
together, what looks like a carefree summer ride
with friends sharing laughs from the outside,
could actually be the beginning of healing in this
bittersweet story that — just like summer — is full
of hopes, surprises and the promise that anything
is possible.
