Introduction

In the wake of her mother’s death, Sophia (impressive newcomer Emily Matthews), her grandmother and father spend a summer on an island off the gulf of Finland. With fantastic performances from Close, Danielsen Lie and Matthews, The Summer Book celebrates the adventures of everyday life. McDowell’s stunningly shot film vividly brings to life some of Jansson’s most beloved characters.
