“Tiny summer trilogy” is a documentary series made with love to experimental storytelling. The trilogy aims to show small stories told from different perspectives about summer, its warmth, wisdom, sadness and bugs. One of the main goals that authors had in mind while making the film is to transfer a bittersweet feeling of summer as a small separate life that we all experience every year. And like a fisherman on his last sea ride we are gathering moments, people and feelings that will “feed” us in long winter nights and stay in mind reminding us that there is always dawn after dusk.
There are three short stories in the film. “Tiny summer Haiku” is a film-monologue from the view of an 8-years old girl preparing for a summer trip to the ocean and thinking about loneliness, sadness and danger being near the sea. “Tale from a Seashore” is a story about an old lady who is a beach keeper. And her role is to guard a volcano that remains silent while she continues to watch it. And “Tickling studies” is a story about short relationships between bugs and flowers told from a bug perspective.
