Sangailė, 17, is fascinated by stunt planes, but is afraid of heights. When she meets Auste, a daring and creative girl her age at an aeronautical show, the two girls fall in love. Sangailė allows Auste to discover her deepest secret, and finds in her romance the only person to encourage her to fly.
Both the sensuous, sun-drenched joys of summer and the sensual pleasures of one’s first love make The Summer of Sangaile a beautifully haptic work, carried by the flowing music of Air’s J.B. Dunckel. Its graceful representation of intimacy and passion bestowed it the Best Director award in Sundance!
