One scorching summer, as wildfires close in on Podgorica, eighteen-year-old Ana is forced to confront the life she is meant to inherit: caring for her dying grandmother, secretly recording her parents on her phone, and uncovering the desires and long-buried tensions tearing her family apart.

The summer burns. Eighteen-year-old Ana was meant to spend it training with her handball team by the sea and preparing for her school entrance exam. Instead, her dying grandmother Anđa is moved into Ana's bedroom, keeping her at home in Podgorica while wildfires spread through the hills around the city. Ana records the days on her phone: the heat, the smoke, Anđa's prophecies and fading memories, the widening silence between her parents. Drawn to her coach Marko and urged on by her best friend Tanja, she looks for a way beyond the house and the life laid out for her. When she discovers that Marko and her mother Mila are lovers, and that her father Kosta is losing himself to cocaine, the fault lines in the family become impossible to ignore. At an underground party in an abandoned factory, Ana puts on her mother's silver dress and a gas mask and loses her virginity in a rough encounter she did not expect. As Anđa's condition worsens, fragments of the past return, and every act of Ana's rebellion strikes a wall that will not move. After Anđa dies, the family drives to the coast to recover what has been lost, but their unspoken truths bring no release. By the end of the summer the fires are still burning, in the hills and in the patterns a family passes from one generation to the next.

Tokom užarenog ljeta, dok se požari primiču Podgorici, osamnaestogodišnja Ana primorana je da se suoči sa životom koji treba da naslijedi: da njeguje baku na samrti, potajno snima roditelje telefonom i otkriva želje i davno potisnute napetosti koje razaraju njenu porodicu.

Ljeto gori. Osamnaestogodišnja Ana trebalo je da ga provede na pripremama sa svojim rukometnim timom na moru i spremajući prijemni ispit. Umjesto toga, njena baka Anđa, koja umire, useljava se u Aninu sobu, pa ona ostaje kod kuće u Podgorici dok se požari šire brdima oko grada. Ana snima dane telefonom: vrućinu, dim, Anđina proročanstva i sjećanja koja blijede, sve dublju tišinu među roditeljima. Privučena trenerom Markom i podstaknuta najboljom drugaricom Tanjom, traži izlaz iz kuće i života koji joj je već zacrtan. Kada otkrije da su Marko i njena majka Mila ljubavnici, a da se otac Kosta gubi u kokainu, pukotine u porodici postaju nemoguće za ignorisanje. Na ilegalnoj žurci u napuštenoj fabrici Ana oblači majčinu srebrnu haljinu i gas-masku i gubi nevinost u grubom susretu koji nije očekivala. Kako se Anđino stanje pogoršava, vraćaju se fragmenti prošlosti, a svaki Anin čin pobune udara u zid koji se ne pomjera. Nakon Anđine smrti, porodica odlazi na primorje da povrati izgubljeno, ali neizgovorene istine ne donose olakšanje. Na kraju ljeta požari i dalje gore, u brdima i u obrascima koje porodica prenosi s koljena na koljeno.
