Storyline
To leave or to stay? Anaïs, a 17-year-old deeply connected to her native region of Gers in southwestern France and her friend group, is faced with this dilemma. With her high school diploma in hand, she must leave behind her family and rural life. During this final summer, Anaïs becomes acutely aware of everything she will have to give up: the music, the village festivals, the beauty of the sunflower fields… But how can one build a future in the 'empty diagonal'?"
