Seventeen-year-old Sangaile is mesmerised by the dance-like loop-de-loop and pirouettes of
acrobatic pilots. She herself suffers from vertigo and could never imagine sitting in a cockpit. A quiet
and introverted girl, she is spending her summer in the countryside at her parents’ holiday home
where she tries to see the local air shows as often as she can. This is where she meets Auste, who
lives out her days with impressive confidence and plenty of imagination. Sangailé is fascinated by
Auste’s natural assertiveness. Together the girls sample everything that life in the country has to
offer. They soon become close and, when Sangailé shares with Auste her most intimate secret, it
gives her a sense of security she has never known before and provides her with the courage to fly
for the first time in her life. In buoyant, cinematic images suffused with light Alanté Kavaïté brings
together the isolated emotions of two very different girls in the universe that is young love. In her
sensitive, intensely sensual film, she tells the story of their intimacy, their passionate devotion and
delicate collisions; their vulnerability and sense of trust.
