In high summer, Sasha, 30, dies suddenly. Her death brings two virtual strangers, her boyfriend Lawrence and sister Zoé, closer together, sharing their grief and the burden of their loss in Berlin, Paris, and New York. Three summers in three cities: the time it takes for the light to return.

This globe-hopping character study is a beautiful, bittersweet summer meditation on life in the aftermath of sudden and unexpected loss. Exploring that subject in a gentle fashion, the film also captivates as a gorgeous evocation of the four cities it’s set in, and all the special spots within them.
