Hot summer, Renaissance palace. Three women remain in a carefree state of limbo, and an enigmatic system fulfills all their life needs – it provides food, entertainment and development. There is one condition – they are not allowed to cross the wall that surrounds their place. From under the idyllic picture, the other, darker side of the new reality quickly shines through. 'Glorious Summer’ is a story about how much we are willing to give away for a sense of security and lack of responsibility.
