    • Synopsis
    • A sun-drenched Renaissance palace. Three women exist in an airy state of suspension, a liminal, responsibility-free bubble, where summer never ends. An enigmatic system fulfills all their needs - providing food, entertainment and a daily routine focused on wellness affirmations. There’s just one rule: they are forbidden to cross the surrounding wall. Soon, cracks begin to appear in this idyllic picture: using a ‘touch language’ - as some things can't be said out loud, secretly practicing how to die, which is supposed to be their ticket to ‘another place’. Long-suppressed anger and a desperate need to escape emerge. Will the girls, raised in a state of perpetual immaturity, manage to break free from the boundaries enforced by the system?
