A Summer Love

Eline Marx / Argentina / 2021 / European Premiere / 21 min.


synopsis

A young author sets off to Argentina to seek the lost fragments of her life story. Using the archival photographs and a personal narrative, this autobiographical reconstruction of a family history documents how world history shaped the outcome of one summer fling, the emergence of new families and their tragic separation.

“Paris fills me with joy. But I leave for Buenos Aires anyway.”
