🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the film as a series of vignettes, relying on the contrast between winter emptiness and summer bustle in these resorts. He explores not so much the geography of the places, but the psychology and rituals of their inhabitants, crafting a light, almost surreal portrait of a collective dream of leisure.
What lingers after viewing is a gentle, ironic meditation on our annual pilgrimages to the water's edge, where idleness is ritualized and the sea becomes a character. — MovieFinder Editorial
