Sylvia Le Fanu‘s feature debut My Eternal Summer, which is set to have its world premiere in the New Directors lineup of the San Sebastian International Film Festival, now has a teaser trailer.
“Fifteen-year-old Fanny and her parents retreat to their summer house, embracing familiar routines: reading, swimming, and walking,” a synopsis of the movie from the Copenhagen-based writer and director with British roots explains. “Beneath the quiet simplicity, an unspoken grief lingers — they know it will be her mother’s last summer. As they try to seize the days they have left together, the family navigates the delicate balance between cherishing the present and facing what’s to come.”
In the trailer, Fanny is shown asking her mother, for a personality test, which three words describe her best. After the mother proposes some options, Fanny’s father chimes in with an unwelcome contribution.
Le Fanu wrote the screenplay for the movie with Mads Lind Knudsen. The film stars Kaya Toft Loholt, Maria Rossing, and Anders Mossling.
TrustNordisk recently boarded international sales on the film, which was produced by Jeppe Wowk for Denmark’s Adomeit Film with support from the Danish Filminstitute and co-financed by FilmFyn, DR, Den Vestdanske Filmpulje and Create Europe Program – Media.
