Siblings Violeta and Eva live in California with their mother, but every summer they travel to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to spend time with their loving but unpredictable father, Vicente. Over the course of four formative summers that span adolescence to early adulthood, Violeta and Eva learn to appreciate their father as a person. Winner of the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, In The Summers is a brilliant portrayal of resilience and survival.
