Written by the actor-turned-director, the story unfurls in Corsica during the summer holidays, where town-dwellers come up against countryfolk who have never left their villages. Children amuse themselves, teenagers hang out, adults think about the future and the elderly ruminate on the passing of time. Together, families and lifelong friends share this suspended moment in time in the mountains. But for all its sunshine and roars of laughter, there are only so many wounds that the summer can heal…

Produced by Martin Bertier and Helen Olive for 5 à 7 Films and co-produced by Delphine Leoni on behalf of Lotta Films, I Comete will be distributed in French cinemas by KMBO and is sold worldwide by Best Friend Forever.
