The Summer of Sangaile



Alanté Kavaïté : 2015
Sangailė

Seventeen-year-old Sangaïlé is fascinated by stunt planes. Afraid of heights, she has never dared to even enter in one of the cockpits. At a summer aeronautical show, near her parents' lakeside villa, she meets Austé, a local girl of her age, who unlike Sangaïlé, lives her life to the full with creativity and dare. As the two girls become lovers, Sangaïlé allows Austé to discover her most intimate secret, and finds in her teenage love the only person to truly encourage her in flying. A coming-of-age story about personal fulfilment, the act of choosing what you become and the impact it could have on people's lives. Alanté Kavaïté's second feature was winner of the Best Director Award when it premiered in competition at Sundance Film Festival 2015. Her film had its European premiere in the Panorama section at Berlin International Film Festival 2015.
