Max isn’t interested in creating vertical gardens for luxury hotels. A tenacious and idealistic landscaper, he dreams instead of building a wild, open-access garden in the heart of downtown Marseille — a green sanctuary without fences, free and open to everyone.
After years of rejection and bureaucratic obstacles, Max’s vision finally reaches the finals of an architecture competition. For him, it’s more than just a project — it’s the last chance to bring a breath of fresh air to a city and its people suffocating under concrete, heat, and urban indifference.
Beating Sun (Tant que le soleil frappe) is a powerful comedy-drama that blends environmental activism, personal conviction, and the urgent need for inclusive urban spaces — all set under the relentless glare of the southern French sun.
