Warnowo, Poland, Summer 1996

Summer stretches like a fragile promise, suspended in the breath of the salted wind brushing against the abandoned church by the sea. Eight young souls cross paths and intertwine, between bursts of laughter and weighty silences, in a delicate balance each struggles to hold. Their bonds are stitched from unspoken truths and invisible wounds, a complex web time threatens to tear apart.

Amber is the new girl, carried by a strange blend of hope and weariness. Beneath her veil of quiet confidence lie absences, silences she refuses to name, a solitude still aching from old scars. She clings to this group, some sort of refuge, desperately searching for a place where she can breathe.

Elijah moves through the summer with the distant calm of someone who sees too much and says too little. Charismatic, elusive, he carries his own ghosts, his own lies, his own secrets. When their paths collide, a dangerous game begins.
One where truth bends, and affection tangles with manipulation.

And then there is that summer, that suspended moment before the fall.
That quiet unfolding of disaster, the slow unraveling of trust.
Something shifts. A buried mystery.
A silence heavier than words.

In Warnowo, innocence is only ever a fragile illusion.
