Kindred spirits from different worlds become entangled together one volatile summer in this passionate, psychological thriller. Local girl Mona (Natalie Press) is naive, reckless and filled with yearning for something more in life. Tamsin (Emily Blunt, in her screen debut) is spoiled and bored and trying to escape the confines of her prep-school existence when she draws Mona into her fantasy world. But what started as a magical friendship soon becomes laced with deception and danger.

 

Acclaimed director Paweł Pawlikowski (Ida, Cold War) achieved international fame with feature, one that showed his ability to dazzle with the camera, sound design, and the ability to inspire expert performances from his cast. For Pride Month, a fiercely unapologetic thrill ride about the joys and the dangers of unbridled passion. For June, a steamy, white-hot drama about the leisurely days and short, but romance-filled nights.
