Running around, driving around, skating around, pushing around the mobile kiosk where she sells drinks with a friend: Luca is always on her way somewhere, but she hasn't yet been able to identify a personal goal in the wealth of options that life has to offer. But it is unspeakably hot anyway, time is passing, nothing is happening. Disoriented like a deer in bright light, Luca drifts through the summer and takes a trip to herself.
