Through a journey across Europe, starting in Rennes, finishing in Saint-Petersburg, a team of young documentarists spontaneously and poetically engage with an experience of culture, languages and borders. The camera follows Tao, a blooming artist travelling by the means of her skateboard. Along the way they make insightful encounters and live unique experiences, through a variety of colours, landscapes, creative initiatives and incredible mouvements coming to sight progressively within their journey. This summer tale is an individual challenge, taking place through the lives of different encounters bringing out a single poetic line, a movement. Under the humble wheels of a skateboard hides a tribute to the old continent. Overall, questioning the individuality, the mass, and moreover, us, the European youth.

Mehdi and Alberto arrive in Blois with the idea of following the Loire River to Angers by bike. A week's vacation. Just as they're about to leave, Alberto's bike needs fixing, which gives them the opportunity to stay in town a little longer. Alberto welcomes this idea, while Mehdi only wants one thing: to leave.
