Summertime (HKLGFF 2016 Closing Film)

It’s 1971, Delphine, the daughter of farmers, moves to Paris to break free from the shackles of her family. Carole is a Parisian, actively involved in the stirrings of the feminist movement. Delphine and Carole meet, fall passionately in love with each other turning their lives upside down. Unfortunately Delphine had no choice but to return home when her father suffers a stroke. Carole smitten by Delphine couldn’t stand being separated from her then joins her lover on the farm. However in a small town feminism and lesbianism just isn’t the same as it is in the city, forcing Delphine to make a very hard choice between her lover and her love for the land. This romantic drama has performed well on the festival circuit featuring stunning production design and capturing the beauty of the French regions, an overall very beautiful fine French film. This film won the Variety Piazza Grande Award at Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.
