Meanwhile

In a restless summer that stretches from the clang of a rugby field to the gentle hush of tide‑washed sand, three young hearts navigate the thin line between friendship and longing. the boy who lives for the rush of the game and the camaraderie of his teammates finds his world shifting when he meets the girl at a heated match, her smile cutting through the post‑match haze. Meanwhile, the other boy, a quiet presence who drifts between poolside laughter and late‑night conversations, watches the evolving connection with a mix of admiration and unease.

The film paints Montreal as a living backdrop—a city where the bustling streets echo with the clatter of cafés, the neon glow of a pool party flickers against night skies, and the nearby beach offers a fleeting escape from urban routine. Each locale feels both intimate and expansive, allowing the characters to drift together and apart, their interactions tinged with the season’s fleeting light. The tone balances a breezy, almost improvisational feel with an undercurrent of yearning, suggesting that every shared glance or whispered joke could tip the fragile balance of their triangle.

Through a series of vignettes that feel like snapshots of an unedited reel, the story explores how loyalty, desire, and the fear of loss intertwine. the boy grapples with the expectations of his teammates while uncovering a deeper pull toward something softer. the other boy wrestles with his own quiet longing, caught between supporting his friend and confronting his own feelings. the girl moves through each scene with a blend of confidence and vulnerability, her presence both a catalyst and a mirror for the two men.

All the while, the rhythm of summer itself acts as an unseen character, its heat and humidity amplifying moments of joy, tension, and quiet reflection. The film invites viewers to linger in the spaces between conversations, to feel the subtle shift of a heartbeat, and to wonder how the delicate dance of three lives will echo long after the season fades.
