World premiere
Endless Summer Syndrome
Can the wellness of the welfare society become bad when saturated?
Delphine, who works in parliament, is one of those women who has it all — a prestigious career, an intelligent husband Antoine, and an adopted son and daughter. As a benchmark for politically correct choices, Delphine no longer needs to do anything other than teach others and talk about how a tolerant society starts from home.
A splendidly idyllic holiday with the family by the pool while enjoying cocktails turns sour when a woman who wishes to remain anonymous wants to say something to Delphine. The absurd babble of a stranger on the phone about a possible secret relationship between Antoine and their adoptee does not deserve any undue attention in Delphine's eyes. But doubt never leaves until the truth comes out. And now Delphine's wandering gaze can only notice what does not exist.
“Endless Summer Syndrome” explores the grey areas of the modern world bursting with liberalism, where love flourishes with social tolerance and is far from the former moral boundaries. It is a journey that plays with the viewer's inner judgment and raises uncomfortable questions about everything we consider love and freedom of choice.
