About This Movie

Summer 2021 paints a nostalgic yet relatable picture of friendship and the challenges that come with change. Directed by Pau Berlanga, the film captures that feeling of coming back to familiar places, both physically and emotionally. The trio of Àlex, Carles, and Jordi navigate the emotional landscape post-lockdown, with each character reflecting a different reaction to their past and the present. The pacing feels leisurely, reminiscent of those long summer days where time seems to stretch. And it’s the performances that really anchor the piece; the actors bring a palpable authenticity to their roles, making their reconnection feel genuine. The practical effects are minimalistic, serving the story rather than overshadowing it, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a true summer reunion.
