This visually-stunning and beautifully-acted Argentinean drama is a tender portrayal of the unexpected revelations that affect two children as they begin the transition to adolescence. 'La Boyita', a little bubble-shaped caravan, has always been a place of refuge, games and confessions for Jorgelina and her older sister Luciana. As Luciana enters puberty she begins to seek privacy and independence from her adoring sibling. Rather than tag along after her sister at the beach, Jorgelina decides to spend her summer holidays with her father in the country. There she develops a close friendship with Mario, a local farm boy burdened by an important secret.
The Last Summer of La Boyita Review
“Julia Solomonoff’s noble and secretly magnificent film is a film about tenderness, about the value of knowledge and the inconvenience of ignorance. Essentially, it is a film about the volatile experience of the end of childhood and its consequences. With a fluid narrative and an precise form, the film portrays a world and a time meticulously crafted”.
