Remember a summer that won't return

Image: Sourced from letterboxd.com for editorial discovery; all rights remain with the original creator.

A father and daughter on a cheap resort holiday in Turkey, filmed on a camcorder that keeps forgetting what it saw. Wells builds the whole film from the daughter's later rewatching of the tapes, so every bright moment is already a memory. The choreography to 'Under Pressure' is one of the great closing scenes. It is a film about how love and loss can live in the same grainy image.
