Starting with a young woman’s unexpected death, this lushly melancholy drama follows three summers in the lives of those who loved her, from Berlin to Paris and from Paris to New York. While the film’s heart is in how its protagonists cope with loss, the exquisite summer light and outdoor spaces of its locations take center stage, poignantly infusing the mourning process with the elusive beauty of life. With this marvelously observed, sensitive second feature, Mikhaël Hers joins the ranks of those filmmakers who lift our spirits merely by the acuity of their art.
