Sophia Heikkilä

A twelve-year-old gymnast tries to please her domineering mother, but nothing works. One day, she finds a strange egg. What hatches is beyond belief.

On a tranquil Finnish island, young Sophia comes into her own while exploring the wonders of the natural world at her family's seasonal home alongside her father (Anders Danielsen Lie) and grandmother (Glenn Close). Adapted from Tove Jansson's beloved novel, The Summer Book is a delicate account of growing up and growing old, beautifully filmed on 16mm.
