1971. Delphine, the daughter of farmers, moves to Paris to break free from the shackles of her family and to gain her financial independence. Carole is a Parisian, living with Manuel, actively involved in the stirrings of the feminist movement. Their encounter turns their lives upside down.

Set in the exhilarating times of the 70s women’s liberation movement in France, Catherine Corsini’s Summertime sensually and gracefully portrays a blossoming love story between two women, whose backgrounds illustrate the divide between the traditional countryside and the liberal urban zeitgeist.
