Olgas Sommer

Olga′s Summer

Olga is 16 and ready. For life, love, adventure – anything else than her boring family in a tedious town that lies just off a highway. Olga′s got a dream: Tangiers. And she′s got principles, even if they′re not of the traditional sort. "Only wild men are for loving" is one of them, "Take everything you can get" is another.

So when she finds an unconscious man in a wrecked car one day, it all just clicks. He, burned-out comic-book author Daniel, is the man who′s come to take her away from Smallsville. So what that he says he killed his wife in a fit of rage? So what that he drove off the road to commit suicide? Perky, persistent Olga gets her way – and off they go on a journey that will lead them to the sea, as well as to moments of bliss and happiness, and to the realization that a dream′s worst enemy is reality. While Daniel accepts this, Olga sets out for Tangiers, a mythical place that exists only in her dreams…
Director Nina Grosse (Fire Rider) has crafted a sensitive road movie that bares the raw emotions and longings of a young girl (Clémence Poésy) determined to grow up, and of a world-weary man (Bruno Todeschini) seduced by the freshness of youth and innocence.
