When Ida worked at Silvan, people started asking her where she was from. She had noticed herself - the dark hair and brown eyes that no one else in her family shared. They're blonde and Danish. Ida knows why. Her father is from Iran. She's never met him, even though he practically lives around the corner. Now, Ida is 28, and perfectly happy without a father. He's merely an estranged man she hardly knows and the thought of contacting him is just another tick on the to do list, just under 'sort out finances'. Yet he appears as a main character in the story of Ida's universe. He makes himself known through her countless journals, and each time people tell her she doesn't look Danish. To Ida, her father is a blank piece of paper, one where she can write about and to him as she pleases. But she is fully determined that he'll never be the answer to her question. Ida does not need a father. Through Ida's eyes and with a journey to Iran as the frame of the story, we follow her on an outer and inner search for identity. The notion of a father slowly starts overshadowing Ida's otherwise unsentimental universe, and maybe Iran can give her the mirroring she has longed for?

Nebulas, self-hypnosis and Bornholm's caves bathed in red light and drone bass. A documentary about the painful relationship between parents and children are not a rarity - but Alexander Lind's first feature film is. Rasmus and his father live on the Danish island of Bornholm. The father, who is trying to move on from a searching and tumultuous life, is suffering from depression, which the son is afraid of inheriting. Unless he reconciles himself with his father, who himself never did the same with his own father. Worn VHS tapes from the family's past bear witness to the fact that weltschmerz is passed on from generation, unless you break the vicious circle in good time. 'Next Summer' combines the Nordic tradition of harsh family portraits with an expressive cinematic originality, which rather than distancing itself from the story demonstrates that it is possible to relate both in a human and artistic way to the people whose lives you have taken on the responsibility of portraying.
