CFF: In the Summers

USA, 2024, 97 mins.
DIRECTOR: Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio
WITH: René Pérez Joglar, Sasha Calle, Lío Mehiel, Leslie Grace

Violeta (Lío Mehiel) and Eva (Sasha Calle) are two sisters who visit their loving but reckless father Vicente (René Pérez Joglar) every summer in Las Cruces, New Mexico. A beautifully fitting look at transient times spent together, In the Summers (2024) traces these memories with wholeheartedness and gusto. The sisters share brilliant moments as their dad coaxes them to mountaintop sunrises and starry nights in deserts to teach them about the universe. However, some of their adventures turn out to be unpredictable, both in their trajectories, but also in the way they serve as connections. Familial wounds and memories to keep—all this and more awaits in this Sundance Film Festival stand out.
