August, a Mediterranean beach. With this coordinates, Pic-Nic approaches a group of characters that, even if they are only passing by that same beach, seem to have been there all along, in their routines as towel’s neighbors or in the anonymity of the mass that slumber under the sunshades. Quiet and sharp, the camera succeeds in making of a set of scenes a clear reflection on contemporary man and on the paradox of what we call ‚ maybe naïvely ‚ spare time.
