Summer Hit

Short | 2019 | 19 min | 16mm

Laia from Spain and Emil from Iceland are Erasmus students in Munich. After having sex for a couple of times, Emil professes his love to Laia - she panics and runs away.
Their time abroad is almost up, but they still have to figure out whether this is just a summer thing or the real deal.
