Summer Solstice
Directed by Michał Rogalski
Produced by Prasa i Film, Sunday Filmproduktion
A poignant coming-of-age romance set against the shadow of wartime occupation, where two teenage boys on opposite sides of a conflict discover shared humanity through music and love.
Romek is a Polish railway worker and Guido is a German soldier. They are both 17, in love with jazz and the same pretty girl. But it's 1943 somewhere in German-occupied Poland, and their lives are bound to change soon.
