It's the end of the academic year at the Hénin-Beaumont high school. Between two TikTok videos and their science lessons, best friends Linda and Irina confide in each other about their families and their future. But Linda is going to have to move in the coming year. What will remain of their friendship? The marvellous story of a bygone summer.

"The multi-award-winning French director has once again constructed a wonderfully light-hearted tale with Rohmerian touches, in which his two characters are illuminated in a way that makes us feel like we know and love them; just like real film heroines, in fact." - Visions du Reel

"As it progresses to a melancholy conclusion (the original French title translates as 'a pinch at the heart'), Linda and Irina gestures towards the ambiguities of French auteur cinema. Away from the slag heaps, the film ends on the girls' poignant gaze on a Rohmerian beach, with Francoise Hardy's 1965 hit 'L'Amitie' (Friendship) playing wistfully on the sountrack" - Sight and Sound
