THE OTHER SIDE OF SUMMER

Competition

15-year-old Bětka spends a languid summer with her best friend Alma in a vacation house on a lake. They long to join the party at the beach bar on the opposite shore, but Bětka's older sister Marie won't allow it. Everything changes when Alma meets the enigmatic Aneta, who disappears into the water every day for hours. One day Bětka follows her – reaching an island, she discovers a pond that exerts a strange attraction on her. A sisterhood-themed adventure about desires, friendship and coming-of-age that is also simply great fun.
