Sommer ’04 is a character study of a family on vacation. German director Stefan Krohmer examines the emotional abyss and problems behind the seemingly nice facade of an intact family as they experience guilt, love and jealousy.

VIBE

A quiet, sun-drenched drama that peels back the veneer of a family holiday to reveal simmering tensions and unspoken regrets. It feels like a hazy memory, tinged with the awkwardness of growing up and the weight of adult secrets.
