Description

A young woman revisits her past when she opens her heart to a young evacuee in “Summerland”, a wartime drama with a contemporary sensibility.


Set over one extraordinary and memorable long hot English summer, “Summerland” tells the story of Alice, a reclusive woman who has closed her heart to the world.


She uses her scientific background to debunk the existence of other-worldly forces and magic. But Alice’s world is turned upside down when she is tasked with caring for Frank, a frightened and innocent young boy seeking shelter from the London Blitz.


Over sun-dappled days in the Sussex countryside, Frank’s curiosity and open-mindedness unlock deeply buried secrets in Alice’s past, and make her re-evaluate what it really means to free your imagination.


Gemma Arterton, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Tom Courtenay star in this intensely emotional story of love’s endurance in trying times.
