A farmer's daughter, she comes to Paris so as to be financially independent; she dreams of running her own farm, something unthinkable for a woman to do at this time. <br /> Carole is a Parisian. She's thirty-five years old and lives with Manuel. She's actively involved with the beginning of the feminist movement. When Delphine and Carole meet, their love affair turns their lives upside down. <br /> But Delphine is obliged to return to the family farm. Carole follows her. Once there, they'll have to cope with another reality.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Variety: "Perhaps the world is finally ready for a lesbian romance as direct and unapologetic as Summertime. A beautifully realized tearjerker."<br /><br />Le Monde: "The love story between Delphine and Carole is brought to vibrant life by the two magnificent actresses who play the characters: Izïa Higelin and Cécile de France. Employing their bodies with an infinite grace, they symbolize wonderfully the desire for freedom that swept through France in the 1970s."<br /><br />Première: "Impulsive and physical, sun-drenched and tragic, carried along by two uninhibited actresses in a state of grace."<br /><br />Libération: "The film, clearly highly personal, conveys the blossoming of feminist movements full of militant hymns."<br /><br />More info: http://en.unifrance.org/movie/38167/summertime
