What Summer Things Is About

Two families go on holiday together, one very rich and the other nearly broke, and Julie, raising a child alone, comes along. At the seaside everyone falls for the wrong person in the wrong order. Michel Blanc directs and acts in it, with Charlotte Rampling, Carole Bouquet and Jacques Dutronc in a large cast. It moves like a pleasant summer comedy while carrying a couple who lost a child, so something else keeps surfacing under the laughter. Adapted from Joseph Connolly's novel, it gathers every thread at one party at the end of the season.
