The 1936 Nice setting is central to the story of Summer '36, as it captures a unique historical moment when workers in France were enjoying their first paid holidays. This social change brings a diverse group of people, including the four main women characters, to the Riviera hotel, creating a dynamic backdrop for the unfolding murder mystery. The era's social and political atmosphere, along with the novelty of leisure time for workers, shapes character interactions and tensions, grounding the plot in a specific cultural and historical context.
