About Summer 1993
Six-year-old Frida (Laia Artigas) looks on in silence as the last objects from her recently deceased mother’s apartment in Barcelona are placed in boxes. Although her aunt (Bruna Cusí), uncle (David Verdaguer) and younger cousin Anna (Paula Robles) welcome her with open arms, it takes time for Frida to get used to her new home in the Catalan countryside. Punctuated by moments of youthful exuberance and mature ruminations, this coming of age drama, set amongst summery hues, is an extraordinarily moving snapshot of being a child in an adult world, anchored by flawless performances by its two young stars.
Based on Carla Simón’s own childhood experiences, the film premiered at the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival, where it won Best First Feature, and was one of five nominees for the European Film Awards’ European Discovery 2017 FIPRESCI prize.
SUMMER 1993 was selected as Spain’s Official Oscar® entry for Best Foreign Language Film, was named one of the National Board of Review’s Top Five Foreign Language Films, and currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oscilloscope Laboratories will release the film on Friday, May 25 in New York and Los Angeles, with a national rollout to follow.
