Verano en diciembre

 Carolina África, a playwright and actress with a long career in the world of the performing arts, makes her debut as a director in film fiction. Verano en diciembre, an adaptation of her play by the same name, delves into the heart of a Spanish home. Teresa (Carmen Machi) lives with her four daughters (Bárbara Lennie, Victoria Luengo, Irene Escolar and Beatriz Grimaldos) and her 90-year-old mother-in-law (Lola Cordón). Together they plan a family reunion to commemorate the anniversary of their father's death; an enterprise that will reveal the tensions between the four sisters, women of very different personalities: the nurturer, the rebel, the wild and the adventurous. Summer in December is an emotional choral comedy about family, which Africa portrays with irony, noise, laughter and tears. The film has a stellar cast that also includes Antonio Resines, Silvia Marsó and Nacho Fresneda. It will have its world premiere at the RTVE Gala at the 69th SEMINCI.
