Glenn Close shines in a tender story of loss, love and the magic of a Finnish summer

On a small island in the Gulf of Finland, young Sophia spends the summer with her father and her fiercely independent grandmother as they navigate life after the loss of Sophia’s mother. Together they explore the shoreline, the forests and the shifting moods of the natural world, finding comfort, mischief and moments of unexpected joy. Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel, The Summer Book is a gentle, luminous drama about growing up, growing old and learning to see the world anew.
