Amor de Verão

Time as an unrelenting force, our loved ones deteriorate in front of us, and the ones we love no longer feel the same. Family as the only passageway toward improvement, forgiveness, and compassion. A series of vignettes styltistically designed towards passageways with the relationship between father and daughter, & father and son. Just a lovely set of characters finding & discovering something new as tragedy strikes, essentially a catalyst towards searching for something more, quite beautiful in all honesty. Women hating the men in their life, until they are there as the last resort towards companionship and compassion. Beautifully photographed by william lubtchansky, with a great view of multiple seasons, finally culminating in gorgeous shots during snowfall. Wonderfully acted by all involved, all of the daughters are terrific in this, and the relationship with the men in their lives is wonderfully interwoven as it shatters in our view. An incredibly captivating film that deals wonderfully with family, loss, relationships, and forgiveness.
