Synopsis
Aware of the world around them and learning how to control it, the characters confront others while trying not to be pushed about by unilateral ways of being, loving, and thinking. Between contradictions and misunderstandings, they struggle to remain consistent with what they are and with the values they hold dear.
La Déferlante, life that charges in, delights, carries you away, seduces, wounds, kills, saves. La Déferlante, depressed or enthusiastic youth, hard and fragile, wild, feline, moderate or excessive, playful or serious, overcome, lost, brilliant. Butterflies of the night.
Close friendships resist or break apart. Love affairs electrify the heart of summer. And everything bursts into flame. Fire of joy and joyfulness. Life: sensual and violent.
To face the light, joy, and pain of emotions. To return to the day, to the night. To live, live, live. To fall, get up, darken the day, light up the night. To live, live, live.
