Synopsis
Australian premiere
Verano en diciembre
Featuring an all-star cast including Carmen Machi (Spanish Affair), Barbara Lennie (The Girls Are Alright), Victoria Luengo (The Room Next Door) and Irene Escolar (The Girls Are Alright), Summer in December is a bittersweet tale about navigating family bonds and the search for happiness.
Four generations of women gather in Madrid for a family reunion organised by Teresa (Machi) to commemorate the anniversary of her late husband’s passing. She is joined by her four thirty-something daughters, her granddaughter, and her nonagenarian mother-in-law, who has senile dementia and lives under her care.
The sisters' distinct personalities: the caregiver, the rebel, the crazy one, the adventurous yet absent one, soon trigger personality clashes. As tensions rise among the sisters, secrets are revealed, forcing them to confront their frustrations, fears and desires. Written and directed by actress/playwright Carolina África, in her feature film debut, this dramatic comedy is a beautiful tribute to family and an ode to life, highlighting the beauty of the everyday.
