About
It is the 15th of August, and just like every year, young Paul, his family, and their friends have a big picnic on Callot Island. But this year, the usual tranquil atmosphere is shattered, when the picnicers suddenly find themselves trapped on the island by the high tide. Upset, and caught between childhood and adulthood, Paul becomes aware of his individuality as he drowns in his imagination.
