Leading the cast is the legendary Glenn Close, who steps into the role of Grandmother with a blend of wisdom, wit, and whimsy. Starring alongside her are Anders Danielsen Lie as the emotionally withdrawn father, and the remarkable young newcomer Emily Matthews as Sophia—a 9-year-old navigating her first summer without her mother on a quiet island in the Gulf of Finland.
As her father struggles with his grief, Sophia finds light in her curious and fiercely independent grandmother. Together, they explore the rugged coastline, share oddball philosophies, celebrate midsommar, and uncover life’s beauty in the face of deep loss. It's a story soaked in sunlight, sea breeze, and the bittersweet magic of growing up—perfect for anyone who remembers what it’s like to wonder at the world.
With a screenplay by Robert Jones, The Summer Book balances grief with joy, playfulness with depth, and nature with the inner landscapes of the soul. It’s not just a film—it’s a quiet, unforgettable escape into a world where childhood and wisdom meet under the same warm sky.
Mark your calendars for this one—The Summer Book is the kind of cinematic experience that stays with you long after the credits roll.
