Summer with Josephine

"Perhaps it was also the heat of the summer, the echo of the waves against the earth, the jagged rocks stacked along the shore."

On a day of dreamy melancholy, a young woman relives the intensity of a summer spent with Josephine.

We are not sure why, but Josephine never speaks. Yet the days pass, each one different from the next, in an atmosphere as dilated, thick and somewhat surreal as the summer heat. These moments spent together weave a unique, slightly ambiguous and unforgettable relationship between the two women.

The short film for Italian brand Kate Cate's SS22, shot in June 21 in the southeastern region of Sicily, is a eulogy to Ingmar Bergman's style in "Persona", with a touch of Truffaut's "Jules et Jim".
