The book opens with a young woman tanning on the sand as the beach is just beginning to wake, and closes later beneath the disco ball of a nightclub. Between these two moments unfolds a series of summer stories, made up of gestures, details, and small rituals offered to the reader.

During the summer of 2023, Alexandre Morelli was awarded an artist residency at the Maison du Patrimoine in Six-Fours. On this occasion, he produced a body of photographic work focusing on the town, and more specifically on the small harbor of Le Brusc.
