SHORT SYNOPSISRETURNING TO THE CATALAN COUNTRYSIDE, DIRECTOR IRENE BAQUÉ REFLECTS ON A TIME WHEN SUMMER SEEMED ENDLESS, AND THE SIMPLE RITUALS OFFERED SOLACE FROM THE MONOTONY.
THROUGH THE LENS OF A 16MM CAMERA AND WITH HER OWN FAMILY AS THE SUBJECTS, CAN CARRERAS INVITES US ON A NOSTALGIC AND DREAMY JOURNEY, FILLED WITH FOND MEMORIES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN TINGED WITH A TOUCH OF IDEALIZATION, SET IN A SURREAL SPACE WHERE TIME STANDS STILL.
IN ITS UNDERSTATED CHARM, THE FILM BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF FAMILY LIFE DURING THE SUMMER — A FLEETING MOMENT WHEN FAMILIES COME TOGETHER IN THE MUNDANE OF EVERYDAY LIFE AT HOME, REVEALING THE POETRY IN SIMPLICITY.
