The death of childhood


Summer 1993 (2017)

Written & directed by Carla Simon this film stars Laia Artigas, Paula Blanco, David Verdaguer and Etna Campillo. Following the death of her parents to AIDs a six year old girl goes to live with her uncle and his family.

This is a minimalist and fairly personal story of loss at a young age. The protagonist acts out before coming to terms with her new life. Maybe the style of this film is not for everyone but it is certainly well made and touching in places.

4/5
