Best First Film Award - Berlin Film Festival 2017
Following the death of her parents, 6-year-old Frida leaves Barcelona to live in the countryside with her aunt and uncle and their 3-year-old daughter. For one summer, the summer of 93, Frida learns to accept her grief, and her adoptive parents learn to love her like their own daughter.
Summer 93 retraces a fragment of the director's childhood. At times, however, we leave the point of view of the young girl and adopt that of the women around her. And the emotion of the grief they are going through is mixed with moments of the joy and lightness of childhood and summer. Carla Simón's story is an intimate and delicate one. - Atmosphères 53
