After escaping from gym class, SIMON (17) finds himself on the banks of a river with a group of teenagers. In the heat of the summer day and amidst all the pointless chatter, time passes as sluggishly as the river water. Only when MARIE appears and both are catapulted into the nearby riverside forest by an unexpected incident do they escape the lethargic group and enter the timeless intermediate realm of the enchanted river landscape.
