Summer '04 (2006)

At the age of 40, Miriam is the epitome of calm beauty, her confidence mirroring the boundless sea near her summer abode. Her life, shared with her partner André and their 15-year-old son Nils, is a polished gem of urbanity, devoid of forbidden territories. When Nils invites his young girlfriend Livia to join their summer holiday, they welcome her with open arms. However, the tranquility of their vacation is disrupted when the audaciously alluring Livia starts to charm an older man, Bill. Believing it her duty, Miriam steps in to curtail this unsettling liaison. Unexpectedly, Miriam herself succumbs to Bill's shy charm, embarking on a clandestine seduction. But Bill's heart is ensnared by Livia, not Miriam, leading her serene horizon to be shrouded in the fog of jealousy and rejection. Miriam is forced to confront the truth that these volatile emotions are far more unruly than she had ever anticipated. In the simmering heat of Summer '04, the lines of morality blur, leaving Miriam entangled in a web of love, betrayal, and self-discovery.
