Sylvia Le Fanu's Film Debut My Eternal Summerwhich will have its world premiere in the New Directors section 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,” explains a synopsis of the film from the Copenhagen-based writer and director with British roots. “Beneath the quiet simplicity lies an unspoken pain: they know this 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 appreciating the present and facing what is to come.”
In the trailer, Fanny is shown asking her mother, in a personality test, what three words best describe her. After her mother offers a few options, Fanny's father steps in with an unwelcome contribution.
Le Fanu wrote the screenplay for the film with Mads Lind Knudsen. The film stars Kaya Toft Loholt, Maria Rossing and Anders Mossling.
TrustNordisk recently acquired international sales of the film, produced by Jeppe Wowk for Denmark’s Adomeit Film with the support of the Danish Filminstitute and co-financed by FilmFyn, DR, Den Vestdanske Filmpulje and Create Europe Programme – Media.
