Fin d'été

This little Romanian coming-of-age movie, Vara s-a sfârsit, or in English, Summer's Over, we meet the 1s year old boy Mircea in the small town of Cernavoda on the big river Daube during scorching hot and dry summer - the warmest in 35 years. He is looking very much farward to a solar eclipse in the 1990's. One day the equally aged and long haired Alex from Bucuresti turns up on the bus, with a stylish bike and new music on the walk man. This meeting are profound for Mircea. They become close friends, until one of their actions will cause powerful consequences.

The kids are played by Dan Hurduc and Nicholas Bohor, and they do a fabulous job in this third movie by Radu Potcoavã, after a script by Cristina Bîlea.

The film succeeds in bringing back those early teen summers back then i your own life, which is it's main point until the story takes a turn.

Well worth a watch, and after it came on Netflix the film has gotten a new chance of being discivered.
