A young Japanese woman boards a luxury yacht anchored in the Mediterranean. Its small crew is expecting another guest: the woman’s little boy who, after his parents’ divorce, was taken from her and entrusted into the custody of the father, a wealthy European. Naomi has four days to say farewell to a child she will not see again for many years. The crew has been instructed never to leave mother and son alone together, nevertheless, the young woman maintains her dignity as she endeavours to reconnect with him any way she can, even though she may be partly to blame for the distance between them. With the exception of a short trip to a secluded beach, Last Summer is set entirely on the yacht. The story occurred to the director when he witnessed the despair of a friend who had found herself in a similar situation. The script is the joint effort of Italian comics artist and illustrator Igort and Japanese writer Banana Yoshimoto. Elegantly shot, this study of fragile human relationships stars internationally acclaimed Japanese actress Rinko Kikuchi, who betrays a talent for muted dramatic roles. Original music by Asaf Sagiv.
