A summer full of wonders and peculiarities, experienced from the perspective of a seven-year-old girl who eagerly awaits fall and the adventures of life.
It's the late seventies, and time moves slowly, like sticky chewing gum. During the first big school holidays of her life, a seven-year-old wants nothing more than for the boredom of summer to be over. All friends are away, the older siblings couldn't care less and her parents get swallowed up by their everyday lives. So, the girl keenly reads Astrid Lindgren and immerses herself in her own mesmerizing world. Soon the enigmatic summer silence will be the dawn of something new …

A stunning debut about a young protagonist who sees the world with different eyes.
