Heat Wave

The temperature rises, the blood starts to boil and unpredictable things happen. As the weather gets hotter, so do our passions. We are both lazier and more alive during the summer and when these opposites clash, magic happens. This programme is designed specifically to make you want to go on a journey into the heat.
