Last Summer

Drama · 2019

Four young boys roam free through a neglected rural paradise in Wales during a long hot summer in the 1970s, untroubled by the adult world until tragedy strikes. Two of the boys are orphaned in a tragic murder suicide leaving the boys’ lives shattered. Their older teenage brother is incapable of caring for them and becomes intent on revenge when he discovers that their mother was having an affair with a local farmer. The story unfolds through the eyes of the boys' best friend, Davy, who persuades the orphans to run away with him rather than be taken into care. But as the adult world closes in on them, Davy takes it upon himself to fix the situation and armed with his wits and a loaded shotgun, goes out to tackle the problem head on. A film about friendships, loyalty and love pushed to the very limit and an ultimately uplifting story of recovery with the bittersweet sense that although something is lost, it can still be treasured.
