About film
Summer is a short film about two teenage girls in a Hasidic sleep-away camp. They are obviously expected to be as pure as waters of the Jordan River, but a forbidden book gets into their hands and leads them to the sexual awakening, for which neither of them is prepared. The film was shot in the heart of Hasidic Upstate New York.
