It is July in Marseille. The city is usually a furnace of salt air and shimmering heat, but this year is different. A freak meteorological phenomenon—referred to by scientists as the "Glacial Inverse"—has trapped the Mediterranean coast in a localized, supernatural deep freeze. While the rest of France swelters at 40°C, Marseille is buried under six feet of snow.
As they navigate the frozen city—scavenging for firewood in abandoned cafes and watching the Northern Lights dance over the Notre-Dame de la Garde—they form a bond born of survival.

As the first drops of rain fall—warm rain—they stand together on the pier. The "Winter in Summer" ends not with a bang, but with the sound of cracking ice and the smell of the sea finally waking up. They realize that while the seasons have returned to normal, they have been permanently changed by the cold.
