Sasha has reached her limit. She refuses to engage with another trivial, “urgent” (which is hardly urgent at all) email or partake in the superficial corporate employee happiness initiatives. Months have passed without seeing her friends, and even the thought of sex feels like an overwhelming effort. Planning a simple dinner appears to be an insurmountable task. Sasha has hit a figurative wall.
Determined to embrace healthier habits like drinking kale smoothies, attempting yoga, and seeking inner peace, she decides to visit the seaside resort of her childhood. However, it’s the off-season, the hotel is in disrepair, and her beach retreat is shared with Finn, a surly individual who appears just as stressed as Sasha. How can she connect with nature when he occupies her cherished rock, observing her every move? Moreover, they can’t agree on the best methods to combat their burnout—whether through manifesting, wild swimming, sipping whisky, or having pizza delivered to the beach.
As mysterious messages, seemingly directed at Sasha and Finn, emerge on the beach, the two are compelled to converse about everything. How did they become so overwhelmed? Can either of them recall something they once loved? (Surfing, as it turns out!) And, despite their profound exhaustion, they grapple with the undeniable energy between them—flaring up even in the midst of their fatigue. What does this unspoken connection signify?
