The Summer Book follows an intergenerational family spending a transformative summer at their rustic vacation home on an unspoiled, remote island in the Gulf of Finland.
Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel, the film explores grief, nature, and the delicate bonds between the young Sophia, her wise grandmother (Glenn Close, Dangerous Liaisons), and her grieving father (Anders Danielsen Lie, The Worst Person in The World).
