Winner of the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and Directing Award at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, Alessandra Lacorazza's searing feature debut is a semi-autobiographical tale that wrestles with issues of identity, addiction and family. Violeta and Eva are sisters stuck spending four life-altering summers with their father, Vicente, in Las Cruces, New Mexico. As played by Grammy Award®–winning musician René Pérez Joglar, aka Residente, Vicente is charming yet volatile; he wants the best for his daughters, but his vices keep getting in the way. Featuring wonderfully lived-in performances from the entire cast, including Lío Mehiel (MUTT) and Sasha Calle (THE FLASH) as the adult versions of Violeta and Eva, respectively, IN THE SUMMERS is a special time capsule of a family in flux. Official Selection, 2024 Miami, Tribeca and AFI Latin American film festivals.
