Adriano Mendes : 2014
The First Summer
The first summer shapes the first years of our lives: we are freer after our first summer, when we make our first decisions, when we have time to feel in our own terms, without hurrying. Isabel and Miguel meet during a driving lesson. They start hanging out and end up spending the summer together: temporary jobs, taking walks by the river and falling naively in love. Every day they get a little closer. One must know how to look after a summer love: the easiness of summer might not be perpetuated in time and the following season brings new ordeals. In autumn, he travels to visit his family, while she stays and takes care of his dog. When he returns, their love for each other will be tested. Adriano Mendes's feature debut was winner of the award for Best Portuguese Fiction Feature Film when it premiered at IndieLisboa International Independent Film Festival 2014, and screened in competition at Moscow International Film Festival 2014.
