Plot

Nestled in the heart of the Bay of Somme, the petite coastal hamlet serves as the backdrop for Seaside. Throughout the seasons, the town's enduring residents strive to carve out their own corners of contentment. Among them, Paul transitions between his roles as a summer lifeguard and a winter grocery-store employee, while his mother, Rose, seeks solace in the hypnotic rhythm of the slot machines, irrespective of the season. His girlfriend, Marie, is a devoted worker at the local factory, the town's economic lifeline. However, the annual influx of summer vacationers stirs within her a profound curiosity about the world beyond their quaint coastal confines. Interweaving these narratives and more, Seaside offers a compelling tableau of a community delicately poised on the precipice of change and continuity. With intimate and insightful glimpses into the lives of its characters, the film reveals the nuanced dynamics of a town caught in the ebb and flow of transformation and tradition.
