Clara's Summer

CLARA CET ÉTE-LÀ

Tuesday, October 19, 7:30pm

Clara and Zoë are best friends spending the holiday at a lush seaside summer camp. Zoë has one thing on her mind: losing her virginity… and Sebastien is just the boy to help her. Soon Zoë is hanging out with the cool kids and Clara is left behind. But when Zoë finds out Sebastien is just using her to inflate his reputation, she flees from his insensitive embrace and turns to Clara. In the meantime Clara has looked elsewhere for friendship and meets Sonia, a sophisticated and self-confident beauty who is open with her bisexuality. When late-night talks lead to something more between the two girls, Clara begins to accept her blossoming sexuality and embarks on a journey of self-awareness. A sensuous coming-of-age tale for all, CLARA’S SUMMER is a tender and very real portrayal of adolescence with all of its pressures, desires, and new discoveries.
