About this product

Product Information

Robert Carlyle (28 WEEKS LATER, FLOOD) stars as Shaun, a down-on-his-luck petrol station worker in SUMMER, the compelling drama by Scottish realist director Kenneth Clenaan. Shaun also acts as unofficial carer to his wheelchair-bound friend Daz (Steve Evets, LIFE ON MARS), with the pair sharing a Derbyshire council house with Daz's teenage son. Shaun's mundane life leaves plenty of room for nostalgic reflection, with one heady youthful summer playing heavily on his mind. The film moves between three separate time frames; the grim present, that same coming-of-age summer spent with childhood love Katy and a then able-bodied Daz, and the mysterious events surrounding Daz's disability. When devastating news in the present threatens to change Shaun's life forever, he is forced to confront his past, track down Katy (Rachael Blake, CLAPHAM JUNCTION), and reclaim his future.

  • One intense summer - & the consequences.

    Unusual, off the beaten track kind of movie about the consequences of actions taken in one long ago summer. Robert Carlyle & the other cast members are brilliant.
