Based on Tove Jansson’s beloved novel The Summer Book, the film tells a magical and life-enhancing story of a girl named Sophia (Emily Matthews) spending the summer with her grandmother (Glenn Close) on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland. While Sophia’s father (Anders Danielsen Lie) mourns the loss of his spouse, the waves gently caress the rocks, the sun shines and the trees grow.

The Summer Book is a depiction of the friendship between a little girl and an old woman surrounded by the Finnish summer dream, close to each other and nature. The film captures the Finnish summer and archipelago nature at their most authentic and beautiful.
