“I just want her to be safe.” Yet another French film that gets extremely provocative with its plot about sex. Altered Innocence has revealed an official US trailer for Endless Summer Syndrome, a French dark comedy romantic thriller that will be released this December in the US. Hitting theaters and VOD after first premiering in 2023. This French drama titled Le syndrome de l’été sans fin is actually made by an Iranian-Czech filmmaker named Kaveh Daneshmand. The mother of two adopted children’s sense of duty takes a macabre turn when she learns that her husband may be having an affair with one of their kids. Uh oh. So what comes next? “This boundary pushing debut feature by Kaveh Daneshmand paints an intimate portrait of an upper-class French family with sly black humor and sensuality aplenty.” This stars Sophie Colon, Mathéo Capelli, Gem Deger, and Frédérika Milano. This trailer also features a bunch of shots of slugs at the end. Why are they so into slugs? An extra peculiar, provocative film that might just get your attention.
Official US trailer (+ posters) for Kaveh Daneshmand’s Endless Summer Syndrome, from YouTube:
A lazy late-summer weekend is disrupted by a shocking allegation when Delphine gets an anonymous call from her husband’s colleague about an alleged affair with one of their adopted children. Before leaping to conclusions she decides to quietly observe her family for a shred of evidence; anything to subside her fear and erase doubt. After the truth presents itself in an unexpected, shocking manner, Delphine choses to look past the blame for a permanent solution. Endless Summer Syndrome, also known as Le syndrome de l’été sans fin in French, is directed by the Iranian-Czech filmmaker Kaveh Daneshmand, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. The screenplay is written by Laurine Bauby, Gem Deger, and Kaveh Daneshmand. Produced by Gem Deger, Cédric Larvoire, Eva Larvoire, Jordi Niubo, and Kaveh Daneshmand. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival last year, and it opens first in Czechia in November. Altered Innocence will then debut Endless Summer Syndrome in select US theaters + on VOD starting December 13th, 2024 coming soon. For more info, visit their official site.
