BUY $10 TICKETS

Chile, 1989. Udo, a young American wargaming champion, arrives at a seaside resort with his girlfriend for a carefree summer vacation. But as he becomes increasingly consumed by a World War II strategy game, the line between play and reality begins to blur. An unexpected encounter with a mysterious local and the sudden disappearance of a fellow tourist turn the sun-drenched coast into a landscape of suspicion, obsession, and uncertainty. From acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Alicia Scherson, Summer of War is adapted from Roberto Bolaño’s celebrated novel The Third Reich . Featuring a stellar international cast led by Dan Beirne, Lux Pascal, David Gaete, and Aline Kuppenheim, the film is a hypnotic exploration of masculinity, desire, and the seductive illusion of control. "Seductive and mesmerizing." —Dustin Chang, Screen Anarchy “Refreshing and thrillingly sinuous… A slow-burn that quietly snakes under your skin.” —Debanjan Dhar, High on Films

En el Chile de 1989, el joven jugador americano de videojuegos Udo llega a un resort de la costa con su novia para tomar unas vacaciones. Al tiempo que Udo es exponencialmente consumido por un juego de estrategia de la II Guerra Mundial, la línea entre la realidad y la ficción empieza a desaparecer. Un inesperado encuentro con una persona local misteriosa y la súbita desaparición de otro turista convierten el balneario en un campo de sospecha, obsesión y duda. De la aclamada cineasta chilena Alicia Scherson, Guerra de verano es una adaptación de la famosa novela de Roberto Bolaños, "El Tercer Reino". Con la participación de un estelar elenco internacional encabezado por Dan Beirne, Lux Pascal, David Gaete y Aline Kuppenheim, esta película es una hipnótica exploración de la masculinidad, el deseo y la seductora ilusión de control.
