Après le Sud (2011)
Directed by Jean-Jacques Jauffret

Drama
aka: Heat Wave

Film Synopsis

It is a boiling hot afternoon in the south of France.  Blissfully unaware of the tragic outcome that is coming their way, four groups of unrelated individuals are making their way on separate paths that will soon converge.  First there is Georges, a retired old man; then there is Anne and her daughter Amélie, together with Luigi, the latter's girlfriend, who has a running battle with his father.  And then there is Stéphane, Luigi's cousin, who has just emerged from adolescence.  A series of fairly innocuous incidents are the precursor for something far more terrible...
