Synopsis
A woman returns to cottage country where, years before, she and her sister both fell in love with local boys, and their lives changed unalterably.
Cinematic in its feel and pacing, recalling the 1950s genre of Dirty Dancing and My American Cousin, That Summer is a meditation on what endures of fleeting moments.
Cast of 5 women and 3 men.
