My name is Alessandra Lacorassa,
00:06
and I'm the writer/director of "In the Summers."
00:08
Our film is playing as part of the US Dramatic Competition
00:11
at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
00:13
I made this film as a way to understand my father
00:17
and our fractured relationship,
00:19
and to see a different kind of queer and Latin representation.
00:23
My inspiration was my beautiful,
00:25
but often chaotic childhood.
00:27
The beauty, the joys, the pain
00:30
of being a child of an addict.
00:32
And the importance of having my sister
00:36
as an ally and a witness.
00:38
Like most family stories, "In the Summers" is about love.
00:44
A complicated love.
00:47
It follows Violeta and Eva
00:50
as they visit their father, Vicente, during summer vacation.
00:56
Through the years, they experience his beauty and fun
00:58
on a rollercoaster of adventures.
01:00
But as time progresses, his pain, addiction,
01:03
and mental health issues peek through the surface,
01:07
leaving them with deep wounds.
01:08
Thank you to the Sundance Film Festival for having us.
01:12
I'm very excited to share this film with the world.
