Alessandra Lacorazza's film 'In the Summers' excels in portraying complex emotions that transcend words, capturing the internal struggles and resilience of sisters Eva and Violeta.
Each Summer, sisters Eva and Violeta witness their father Vincente's anger and brokenness, navigating a tumultuous relationship shaped by love, isolation, and emotional complexity.
Lacorazza's intention was to depict a Latinx father figure's multifaceted nature: 'I wanted to honor this idea of a complicated father... showing beauty while not shying away from heartbreak.'
The film's emotional depth lies in what remains unsaid, forcing the sisters to reconcile their father's love with the cycles of his abusive behavior.
