Sasha crosses Marseille from her building on the city's heights to the port. On her way, she encounters men's insistent glances. The city is beautiful, lively, sunny, concrete. Sasha's walk is a tangle of glances, strained silences, and city gusts. Arriving at the Mucem pier, she waits for someone who doesn't come.
A photographer wants to rid her model of a fake smile. She refuses, as it is part of her identity. Tensions rise and a secret initiation begins.
It's the end of summer vacation for Amin. The young photographer spends cozy evenings with Charlotte, the ex-girlfriend of his Casanova cousin. She talks to him about literature, he photographs her. Nobody knows that they see each other, especially not Ophélie, his childhood friend, who instead confides her troubles to Amin : her father wants her to take over the family farm, her fiancé Clement will return soon from Iraq for their wedding, she is pregnant with Tony’s baby, and Tony wants to keep their affair secret instead of having a serious relationship. Ophélie constantly contemplates her choices : would it be better to get an abortion in secret and marry Clement or to follow her maternal instinct and keep the child, perhaps seeking refuge with Amin in Paris?
Verano de 1994. Amin (Shaïn Boumedine), un joven aspirante a guionista y fotógrafo, regresa a su pueblo costero en el sur de Francia después de vivir un año en París. Nada más llegar descubre que su primo Tony (Salim Kechiouche) mantiene un romance secreto con la joven Ophélie (Ophélie Bau), que está prometida. Amin pasa el tiempo en la playa mientras se reencuentra con sus amigos y familia, todos de origen tunecino. Conocerá a varias chicas que disfrutan del verano, especialmente la liberal Céline (Lou Luttiau) y la cándida Charlotte (Alexia Chardard), seducida por el mujeriego Tony. Por la noche todos salen de fiesta a divertirse. Siempre discreto y reservado, Amin observa los juegos de seducción a su alrededor, anhelando vivir su propio romance como en las películas, pero cuando se trata de amor, solo el mektoub ("destino" en árabe) puede decidir.
