Synopses
Our Summer follows sisters Charlie and Maddie, who rely on each other to get through the endless days spent in their bedroom during lockdown, entertaining themselves listlessly. What begins as a fun, light-hearted snapshot into the girls’ life soon transcends into an all-too-familiar insight into the anxiety of a dangerous family member returning home. The bedroom in which they play, once full of life becomes cold and empty – as Charlie is forced to leave her sister to face the person on the outside.
