É verão em uma pequena vila no sudeste da Espanha. Uma tempestade ameaça fazer com que o rio que a atravessa volte a transbordar. Uma velha crença popular afirma que algumas mulheres estão predestinadas a desaparecer a cada nova enchente, porque elas têm a “água dentro”. Um bando de jovens tenta superar o cansaço de um verão na aldeia que cheira a morte fumando, dançando e cobiçando uns aos outros. Nesta atmosfera elétrica que antecede a tempestade, Ana e José vivem um caso de amor até que a tempestade estoura.

Franck Landron follows photographer Antoine d'Agata wherever he goes, to the edges of the world, in a discreet presence, camera in hand. He has been doing hours and hours of rushes, patiently, without hurrying or rushing, he wants this film as fair, as honest, and as long as it takes: it lasted six years.

In the South of Spain, a multicolored pigeon race will be won not by the fastest bird, but the one who will be able to seduce a female pigeon and fly alongside her the longest.

A village in southern Spain. On a hot summer afternoon, a woman grabs a rabbit, strokes it, then kills it with her bare hands before skinning it. Her grandchildren witness this rite of death which they will never forget. The streets echo with an ancestral legend which has it that the spirit of a woman with a broken heart prowls at night, so that she will not be forgotten.

An adaptation of Michelangelo Antonioni’s notes on un-made films published in “That Bowling Alley on the Tiber.” Starring French film critic Philippe Azoury in the role of “The Critic.”
