That giddy, all-consuming thrill of first love is conveyed with great empathy in Summertime. It is 1971, Delphine is bored at home on her parents’ farm in the French countryside. She flees to Paris and immediately falls for older Carole, a leader in the emerging women’s rights movement. When Delphine is obliged to return to the family farm, Carole follows her. Once there, they’ll have to cope with another reality. Summertime is a love story between two young women that is both unabashedly sexy and utterly realistic and compelling.
