Daydreaming about a Summer Night Fight

Summer 2025: three of the director’s cousins return to their grandparents’ village, where a
night by the sea triggers violent repercussions in the name of honor. The incident sparks
tensions across generations and borders. Through diary fragments, the film traces the director’s
response as she navigates a complex female identity and her search for belonging.
