Qhen he arrives on the Spanish coast of the Costa Brava, on vacation with his friends, the “Hot Boy Summer” has a light spirit. For good reason, he has just freed himself from a big thorn that he had on his foot by becoming single again. Because, you understand, he had ” Need to take a break “ in its couple around June-July.
