MY SUMMER OF LOVE

Premiering on DStv on Channel 112 on TopTV, My Summer Of Love is a British drama from 2004 with Natalie Press, Emily Blunt and Paddy Considine directed by Pawel Pawlikowski (86).

Two 16-year olds spending one long, hot English summer together in Yorkshire. Mona is a tough Northern lass whose spiky exterior hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life. Tamsin is well educated, cynical and spoiled, and, unlike Mona, incapable of love.

At first Mona and Tamsin's distinctly opposite cultures, backgrounds and characters cause them not to understand or trust each other, but gradually these differences lead to mutual fascination and attraction. Added into the volatile mix is Phil who, despite his troubled past, has now found divine love which he hopes will save himself and Mona.

My Summer Of Love premieres on June 16 at 20h00.
