Year 1998. Isabel, a journalism student, is forced to do her internship in the newspaper of a small Galician coastal town in order to finish her degree. When she arrives, she wants to start investigating as soon as possible, to demonstrate everything she has learned in order to become a real journalist. But the position she is assigned is the last one she expected: the writing and management of the obituaries that reach the newsroom. But this, which might seem boring at first, becomes the door to an investigation that will take her through different parts of the Spanish geography in search of an impossible love story.
🤖 AI Film Analyst Insight
"Carlos Sedes's rendering of *El verano que vivimos* delivers a visually sumptuous, if dramatically conventional, Spanish melodrama. The film excels in capturing the sun-drenched, nostalgic atmosphere of Jerez, utilizing rich production design and evocative cinematography to elevate the standard romantic thriller framework. Blanca Suárez and Javier Rey anchor the narrative with palpable chemistry, successfully selling the central theme of forbidden passion haunted by memory. However, the film struggles to transcend its highly polished, television-esque aesthetic. The dual timeline structure, while inherently engaging, often serves to mask a fundamentally predictable plot reliant on familiar genre tropes and convenient dramatic contrivances. It is a competent, beautifully shot piece of escapism, but lacks the narrative depth or stylistic innovation required for true cinematic distinction."
