A documentary by Samuel Picas
Broadcast on France Télévisions - 52 mn

In Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a tiny French territory in the North Atlantic, a group of teenagers have just obtained their baccalaureate. Driven to continue their studies, it is a departure for the metropolis or Canada that seems to be imposed on them. Manon, Evie, Enguerrand and their friends will then spend their last summer together on these islands where they have always lived. But they are islanders and this separation has the appearance of exile, of uprooting with no certainty of return.

A story of the end of adolescence and friendship, the film mixes and confronts the nature of the island with the intimate journeys of these young people who live their last vacation in the excitement and self-abandonment that precedes a jump into the void.
