The Summer of Sangaile Sangailes vasara

Alanté Kavaité / Lithuania, Netherlands, France / 2014 / 88 min / Slovene subtitles, Lithuanian / 15+

17 year-old Sangaile is fascinated by stunt planes. Afraid of heights, she has never dared to even enter in one of the cockpits. At a summer aeronautical show, nearby her parents’ lakeside villa, she meets Auste, a local girl of her age, who unlike Sangaile, lives her life to the full with creativity and dare. As the two girls become lovers, Sangaile allows Auste to discover her most intimate secret, and finds in her teenage love the only person to truly encourage her in flying.

A sensual, spirited and torrid summer affair between two teenage girls. World Cinema Directing Award at Sundance.

"I spent my adolescence in Lithuania, a country with a special, practically obsessive relationship with aviation. /.../ It seemed to me that this popular Lithuanian pastime would be the perfect metaphor for Sangaile. Aerobatics, an extreme sport, requires true self-control and that is just the thing that Sangaile seems to lack the most. She has to struggle within to free herself and achieve her dream." (Alanté Kavaité)
