In 1974, a band of 11‑year‑old friends—Aaron, Stelios, Sakis, Galanos and Verios—spend the last carefree summer before adolescence. With school closed, they fill their days with bike rides, errands, games and daring dives into a large cistern, each showcasing a talent—balancing, diving or somersaulting. The summer turns into a rite of passage, exposing Aaron to love, jealousy and the complexities of friendship.
