Adam is 50 years old and the epitome of mediocrity. He has had a series of failures in his life, in addition, his aunt has just died, and his inherited apartment has been flooded by a troublesome neighbor from above. The man visits her and tries to intervene. A meeting with 55-year-old Celina, immersed in alcohol addiction, turns into an emotional rollercoaster in which resentment, mutual fascination, closeness and violence are mixed. Instead of disgust and indifference, there is a shadow of a deeper feeling. Adam begins to believe that Celina can be reborn again. Celina, wounded many times by other men, is skeptical and distrustful. Suicide seems to be a simpler solution to her than breaking out of the long-term stagnation. What will he choose?

Director's Statement
I am interested in ordinary people who are put in an extraordinary situation when they have to make crucial decisions. Heroes under the pressure of time, fate or addiction, flitting between euphoria and despair, between laughter and tears. I want the viewer to at least have the experience of being deeply immersed in the world of emotions experienced by the characters in my films. I hope that the film "A Time for Summer" succeeded in doing this.
