AN ATMOSPHERIC, IMPRESSIVELY ACTED DRAMA ABOUT A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, THAT RESONATES FOR A LONG TIME 

It’s sum­mer and 17-year-old Lea is bored: She sun­ba­thes in the gar­den, wat­ches make-up tuto­ri­als and hangs out with her cli­que. However, she has no real con­nec­tion to her fri­ends. The same goes for her rela­ti­onship with her par­ents: Her father is absent, and her mother is hard­ly inte­res­ted in her. Into this void, steps in 34-year-old Tom: char­ming, hand­so­me and, by all appearan­ces, seems genui­ne­ly inte­res­ted in her. Full of lon­ging for affec­tion, she gives in to a sum­mer love that is not a love affair at all. With incre­asing unea­se, the audi­ence wat­ches as the girl slips into a depen­den­cy on a man who even­tual­ly demands unspeaka­ble things from her. (NW)
