Claudia is 16 years old and has grown up isolated from the outside world. Lost after the death of her mother, she is surprised when Grace appears in the garden like a mirage that gradually becomes a breath of fresh air. Overcoming their resistance, both manage to find the support, love and intimacy they need, and teach each other the restorative power of human connection. But their idyllic peace is fragile as the adult world closes in and threatens the very existence of this secret summer love.

Katie Found is a writer and director based in Melbourne. Her first feature film, My First Summer, premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival and screened at numerous festivals including BFI Flare, Inside Out and the Melbourne Queer Film Festival. It received laudatory reviews in newspapers such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times and Vogue. In addition, her previous short film The Widow received funding from Screen NSW and was developed through Metro Screen's First Breaks program and screened at film festivals nationally and internationally.

Film will be screened in original version with Spanish subtitles.
