MY SUMMER OF LOVE
SYNOPSIS
My Summer of Love is this summer's most
intoxicating and intriguing romance. From Pawel
Pawlikowski, the award-winning director of
"Last Resort", comes a tale of obsession and
deception, and the struggle for love and faith in a
world where both seem impossible.
The passionate, droll, and mysterious drama
features striking performances from its two lead
actresses, both of whom are movie newcomers.
The film vibrantly charts the emotional and
physical hothouse effects that bloom one
summer for two young women (Natalie Press
and Emily Blunt). Mona (played by Ms. Press),
behind a spiky exterior, hides an untapped
intelligence and a yearning for something beyond
the emptiness of her daily life. Tamsin (Ms. Blunt)
is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. As they are
complete opposites, each is wary of the other's
differences when they first meet, but this
coolness soon melts into mutual fascination,
amusement and attraction.

Adding further volatility is Mona's older brother Phil (Paddy Considine), who has renounced his
criminal past for religious fervor – which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is
experiencing her own rapture. "We must never be parted," Tamsin intones to Mona…but can
Mona completely trust her? -- © Focus Features
