Pearl Against the Sun

Izia and Karo are growing up by the lake, in a town that seems to exist outside of time. They are bound by a close bond, rooted in their shared existence. The film evokes the atmosphere of summer memories – fragmentary and dreamlike – whilst also capturing the locals entangled in their repetitive stories. Over time, the idyllic mood begins to darken, and the story of friendship and coming-of-age reveals increasingly unsettling tensions.
