  • Turin, 1938. Seventeen-year-old Ginia leaves the countryside with her brother in search of a new life in the city. Though Turin lies in the shadow of a rising fascist government and her brother yearns to return home, Ginia is optimistic about the future. In a short time, she excels in her work as a seamstress at an atelier, gaining new clients with her designs and impressing her otherwise irascible employer. Restless and seeking adventure, Ginia soon finds it in a beautiful, enigmatic young woman named Amelia. Though similar in age, her new friend's sensuality and confidence embolden Ginia to begin modeling for the bohemian artists in their circle. A whirlwind affair ensues, and the young seamstress finds herself swept up in this new and unfamiliar world, all the while never escaping Amelia's spell. The young women grow closer, and Ginia makes an emotional journey towards self-discovery over the course of one beautiful, sun-dappled summer.

  • Appointed with a warmth and plushness that is reminiscent of a Merchant Ivory production, Laura Luchetti’s adaptation of Cesare Pavesi’s The Beautiful Summer is handsomely turned out, which is fitting for a film which is partially set within the world of fine tailoring. Ginia (Yile Yara Vianello) and her brother Severino (Nichoas Maupas) are recent arrivals in Turin from the countryside; he is working and studying while she is showing talent as a seamstress in one of the city’s fashion houses.
