Story

Under the scorching sun of Southern France, a young generation between rebellion and resignation. After years away, Salomé returns to the village she grew up in for a holiday job. She is the only employee at a rubbish dump in the middle of nowhere and lives in an old building site trailer. Gradually, a few lost souls penetrate the timelessness of the place and Salomé‘s loneliness. A participant from a TV reality show has walked out and is looking for a new format for her life, a depressed cyclist takes a break at the tip. All are united by a common desire: for awakening, change, the need to go crazy.
