Plot

With a heavy haul of 250 kilograms of gold bullion, the grizzled criminal mastermind, Rhino, and his ruthless gang of cutthroats, head to a ramshackle retreat somewhere in the Mediterranean to lay low on a scorching day of July. However, the unexpected and rather unwelcome arrival of the bohemian writer, Bernier, his muse, Luce, along with a pair of no-joke gendarmes further complicates things, as the frail allegiances will soon be put to the test.

After a successful armored car robbery, Rhino (Stéphane Ferrara) and his crew transport hundreds of kilograms of stolen gold to a remote Mediterranean settlement occupied by artist Luce (Elina Löwensohn), writer Max Bernier (Marc Barbé), and their uneasy household. The fragile balance inside the compound shifts when Mélanie (Dorylia Calmel) arrives seeking shelter with her child and nanny. As two police officers investigate nearby activity, the presence of hidden bullion, personal rivalries, and conflicting loyalties steadily tighten the situation. The isolated retreat becomes the center of an escalating confrontation where every movement carries consequences.
