Summer in Heat

During the summer of 1993 on the Turkish Black Sea coast, four European teenage cousins reunite for a family wedding. As they spend the summer together, the heat and the relaxed atmosphere awaken new feelings and tensions. While the adults focus on family traditions and social expectations, the teens experience a sense of freedom. But their emotions become complicated when all four are drawn to the same charismatic young man, stirring jealousy, attraction, and confusion about identity and desire.
