SCREENING FROM AUGUST 7th

Based on Tove Jansson’s beloved 1972 novel, The Summer Book tells the story of Sophia, a nine-year-old girl, and her grandmother (Glenn Close) who, together with Sophia’s father (Anders Danielsen Lie), spend a transformative summer at their rustic vacation home on an unspoiled, remote island in the Gulf of Finland, where they explore the islet, talking about life, nature and everything but their feelings about Sophia’s mother’s death and their love for one another.
