In the Summers – Monday Cinema – 4 pm only

Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA In the Summers at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail on Monday, January 20 at 4 pm only.
Doors open at 3:30 pm.

Two sisters, Violeta and Eva, live in California with their mother, but every summer they travel to New Mexico, to spend time with their loving but unpredictable father, Vicente.

Over four formative summers spanning adolescence to early adulthood, the sisters learn to appreciate their father for his flaws and limitations that are inseparable from his passion and tenderness.

This powerful and deeply personal directorial debut from Alessandra Lacorazza is a nuanced study of growing up within a fragmented family as the two girls develop their own identities whilst questioning their place within their families and their communities.

Winner of the US Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.

“This is a lovely, tender, and pitch-perfect first film by a very talented new voice.” – Claudia Puig, FilmWeek (KPCC – NPR Los Angeles)

“It increases in power as it proceeds, as Violeta and Eva grow older and gain sharper understandings of their father’s flaws.” – Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
