Then Summer Came

2008 · 118 min Drama
4.0 / 10 · TMDB

A humorous wedding story fueled by a rather no-good father and son, disguised as the old and new “good guys.” The father Nobuo, and his son Tamio, are unable to mature, unable to break the parent-child roles, have no sense of responsibility, and keep holding on to the past. The pair is overwhelmed by all the colorful characters around them telling them what to do. They go to strenuous and humorous efforts to make Tamio’s wedding an event to remember.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a delicate balance between the ridiculous and the heartfelt, exploring the arrested development of its two central characters with both humor and pathos. It relies on the chemistry between the father and son to drive a narrative that is as much about family obligation as it is about personal failure.

What lingers after the final scene is not just the comedy of errors, but a quiet empathy for these lost boys in men's clothing. The wedding becomes a mirror for their own stunted growth. — MovieFinder Editorial
