action

In the life of 14-year-old Wanda, there is a move that will take the family of five to Switzerland. In Stuttgart, the family's previous place of residence, her father Joachim had an affair that Wanda's mother Anna still couldn't cope with. The beginning is good, the large house that you move into is surrounded by an overgrown garden and the small suburb of Zurich looks very idyllic. But the new beginning is more difficult than expected. Father's swearing assurances that we can do it and it will be a wonderful summer won't help. At school, the new classmates do not make it easy for Wanda and also speak incomprehensible Schwyzerdütsch. It is the same with her sister Miss Sophie, who does find a friend, but who cannot give her the support she needs and who she loses again. And both little brother Bubi gets hair loss, hardly wants to eat and then stops talking from one day to the next. And Wanda's mother cannot forget the breach of trust in the new environment either, even if she is desperately trying to keep the family together. As soon as the children's father does not come home on time from work, the old distrust gnaws at her again. The accusation that he may have been unfaithful again is unspoken. The former togetherness seems lost and is increasingly becoming a coexistence. The couple even spends the nights apart, Joachim retreats into the basement, while Anna lies depressed in bed, which also contributes to the fact that she cannot find a job in the new environment. The emotional baggage that the parents carry around with them destroys the lightness that summer could have. Soon the old quarrels start all over again, which is difficult for the three siblings to endure. However, each of them develops their own way of dealing with it.

Wanda, who often watches the neighboring family through their large living room window, thinks she hears how lovingly they treat each other there, which makes her even sadder. As a result, the young girl embarks on a tentative first sexual experience with her 32-year-old neighbor Hannes, who is a little strange but is clearly looking for Wanda's proximity. When an encounter between the two of them gets out of hand and a subsequent argument takes on threatening features, her family does not offer her the protection she had hoped for. Wanda's attempts to get her parents to be the couple they once were again come to nothing. She and her sister have to realize that their parents are powerless to give them back what they miss so badly and that no matter how much you want to bring back lost feelings. This realization means that a separation is inevitable. While Wanda and her siblings go back to Germany with their mother, the father stays in Switzerland.

criticism

Harald Mühlbeyer from Kino-zeit.de was of the opinion that the film was “not at all depressive, not a lewd accusation, not a 'social drama' in the negative sense of the accusatory-didactic”. He concluded: “The lifelike characters, the conflicts that the film shows without him riding around on them, the complex, unconstructed constellation - everything testifies to Jehn's feeling for characters and film, and for what it is like when the storm winds roar through the outside-it-is-summer family while outside it's such a beautiful summer. "

The OutNow-Ch saw a little differently and found, “although the sun is shining here most of the time (it's summer outside), the film is the best Depri cinema. There is hardly any laughter and the actors usually pull the corners of their mouths down. In combination with the rather slow narrative pace, the film quickly becomes exhausting. Still, he likes to pack due to some oppressive scenes ”. The conclusion was then: “ It's summer outside is a difficult piece of film that can overwhelm the audience. If, however, the clichés and exaggerations accumulate more and more towards the end, the whole thing quickly becomes credible and leads to a bizarre Last Supper. But applause for the performance of young actress Dragus as well as for the perfect capture of the feeling of being alone. "

The TagesWoche praised: “With Maria Dragus, Frederike Jehn has found a simply grandiose face to reflect all the projections of loneliness and adolescence.” The SRF site was also of the opinion “ Outside in summer, tell about it with careful, beautiful pictures Wanda's view of the world. And Maria Dragus is a great actress who has to be remembered. The German-language Swiss daily Blick read: “Not a sultry, summery family drama, but rather a cold family drama”, whereas the Neue Zürcher Zeitung found: an astonishingly cliché-free coming-of-age story.

Lars-Christian Daniels von Filmstarts certified Jehn's family drama with "accurate [] dialogues [] and a good [s] feel for their characters" and praised the "especially brilliant leading actress Maria-Victoria Dragus [...] shines". Daniels also certified the other actors that they would "convince without exception". Wolfram Koch, for example, gives the "authentic and experienced family father who is fighting self-sacrificingly for the house blessing while Adolf Grimme Prize winner Nicolette Krebitz [...] as a lethargic, depressive mother with cautious play convincing [e] and the young actors Audrey von Scheele and Nalu Walder whose screen debut leaves enough room for development. The leading actress Maria-Victoria Dragus leaves the “most lasting impression”, [...] The German-Romanian young actress "with her childlike naivety on the one hand and her surprising maturity on the other hand quickly gets into the hearts of the audience and [becomes] as A haven of calm for the broken family quickly becomes a figure of identification ”.

Anke Sterneborg from epd gave the film four out of five possible stars and drew the conclusion: "In her second, full-length feature film, Friederike Jehn traces family trouble spots with documentary objectivity and fleeting poetry."

The FBW , which gave the film the title “valuable”, justified this with the fact that “Maria Dragus as Wanda [is] overwhelming in her quiet but energetic fight against the breakdown of the family”. It also said: "A consistently narrated drama, coolly staged and yet very touching."

Kino.de said that German film had "a pound with which it could thrive: young and brilliant actors" and referred to "Maria-Victoria Dragus" as the "best example" of this, who had already shown her "great talent" several times. have proven. Friederike Jehn recounts “quietly and consistently about the painful process of growing up and the almost hopeless struggle for an intact family and a firm hold in an unstable time”. [...] In doing so, she put "the beauty of a bright and colorful summer outside against a familiar ice age inside ..."
