Summer Outside
An unusually hot summer. Fourteen year-old Wanda moves with her family from Berlin to Switzerland. Everything will be better here. The move is meant to heal the open wounds of the family. Anna, the mother, has lost her self-confidence due to an affair her husband Joachim had in Berlin. The big house with the overgrown garden and the pretty small town all seems like one big promise. But the new beginning is difficult for everyone. Joachim, 40, throws himself into family activism while Anna, also 40, tries to strengthen the family with new rituals.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative through the lens of adolescent observation, using the oppressive summer heat as a potent metaphor for familial strain. It explores the unspoken, relying on eloquent silences and domestic details that carry more weight than dialogue.
What lingers after viewing is a quiet, resonant empathy for each character's private struggle. The film offers a poignant reminder of how landscapes shape emotional climates — MovieFinder Editorial
