ein Sommer lang<br />
ONE LONG SUMMER<br />
One Long Summer tells the story of Vroni who, as the<br />
summer slowly unfolds, experiences her first love in a<br />
small Bavarian village.<br />
Apart from the daily monotony of farmhouse chores and<br />
shy conversations about boys and sex that she has with<br />
her friend Gerti, Vroni finds herself drawn, again and<br />
again, to the woods, to the caravan of Ales, the young<br />
Czech puppeteer.<br />
Using a quiet visual language, with soft almost dream-like<br />
sequences, One Long Summer shows the sweet melancholy<br />
of first love and the dusty, dragging summers of<br />
childhood that seemed to be endless.<br />
