A Cool Summer
a PHILIPPE HAREL picture
Synopsis
In this witty and fast-paced comedy, Claudine is driving her wreck of a car, pulling a camping trailer behind it on the way to spending a summer vacation with her boyfriend. Travelling with her is Henri, her boyfriend’s younger brother, a non-stop complainer. Neither one of them can manage more than a few civil words between them. When the car breaks down and they have to take refuge in the caravan, it begins to look as though their feud will get even worse. Instead, Henri begins to show some unexpected creative qualities and before long, they are joined by another stranded traveller, Titia, a local girl who is hiding from her rejected boyfriend.
Press
"Un été sans histoires ne fait que raconter la réalité qui ressemble bien souvent, il est vrai, à un cauchemar. Le talent de Harel est de nous en faire rire. En soixante-cinq minutes pleines de surprises et de charme."
