Summer 1993

In Carla Simon’s touching autobiographical film, six-year-old Frida (Artigas) looks on in silence as the last objects from her recently deceased mother’s apartment in Barcelona are placed in boxes. Although her aunt, uncle, and younger cousin Anna welcome her with open arms, it’s only very slowly that Frida begins to get used to her new home in the Catalan countryside. This coming of age drama, set against the gorgeous backdrop of a rural summer, is an extraordinarily moving snapshot of what it’s like to be a child in an adult world.
