26 minutes of summer that'll wreck you more than blockbusters twice its length.
All summer long, four teenagers gather illegally in a military zone to build a hut. But school will soon begin again and the golden days of cabin-building are coming to an end.
Direction
Guélat treats 26 minutes like epic poetry—every frame breathes.
Cinematography
The military zone becomes liminal Eden, all golden hour and dread.
Director
Simon Guélat
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Switzerland's actual military no-go zones, spaces that exist in bureaucratic limbo between public and forbidden.
The hut is never completed—Guélat intentionally subverts the 'building project' genre. The act of making, not the result, is the entire film.
