Kyuka Before Summer’s End - English subtitled
Sun-drenched, bittersweet and funny coming-of-age story about a summer in the lives of adolescent twins and their single father.
Summer in Greece. A family of three – single father Babis and his adolescent twins Konstantinos and Elsa – sail to the island of Poros for their holiday. It is a typical family holiday with sun, sea, barbecues, new friends and the occasional boredom and mutual irritations. What Konstantinos and Elsa do not know is that they have run into their mother, who left them after they were born. They are very intrigued by this eccentric woman, but for Babis, the encounter mainly stirs up long-held feelings of resentment.
Kyuka Before Summer’s End is the feature debut of Kostis Charamountanis. The film is an ode to the summers he spent sailing as a child.
