Summer Solstice

2015 · 100 min

A wistful, slow-burning wartime coming-of-age where youthful romance and jazz are shadowed by the creeping dread of occupation.

Overview
Romek is a Polish railway worker and Guido is a German soldier. They are both 17, in love with jazz and the same pretty girl. But it's 1943 somewhere in German-occupied Poland, and their lives are bound to change soon.
