SUMMER 1993

FEATURE DRAMA AWARD WINNER

Winner of the Best First Feature Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, Carla Simón’s compassionate semi-autobiographical debut has an extraordinary performance at its heart. Following the death of her parents from an AIDS-related illness, six-year-old Frida faces her first summer with her new adoptive family in the picturesque Catalan countryside. Deftly exploring the legacy of trauma, the film is a beautifully shot and powerful testament to acceptance, independence and love.
