A perverse and rebellious fifteen-year-old girl, and a father who makes a living selling awnings in a dilapidated store, had no contact with each other in the fourteen years before this summer. Now, girls who have committed the "unforgivable sin" are sent to spend the summer with their father, which seems like a punishment. Reunion after a long absence, time gap, different concepts, the gap between rich and poor... These all erect an invisible wall between father and daughter. Being surly is just armor for self-protection, while clumsy caring is also unspeakable affection. Two hearts connected by blood gradually get closer as they get along day after day. However, my father seems to have a hidden agenda when selling awnings, and he seems to be also carrying a "heavy secret"... A book about growth and reconciliation, about the secrets in our family, about guilt and responsibility, and the flashing orange of summer nights.
