Paris in the summer of 2024: While the whole city is in an uproar over the Olympic Games, shy Blandine from Normandy stumbles from one misunderstanding to the next. She actually came to cheer on her secret crush at the women’s swimming competitions. Instead, she gets lost in the unfamiliar streets, runs afoul of the law, and seems to encounter only people who are completely different from her. Even communicating with her half-sister Julie—with whom Blandine hasn’t had contact for many years—is fraught with difficulties. Things go better with Alma, Julie’s young daughter, who immediately wins her heart. Amid sporting euphoria, chaotic family moments, and an unexpected rendezvous, Blandine steadfastly follows her own rhythm. ​ A SUMMER IN PARIS tells, with wit and heart, the story of the magic of discovering the world through one’s own unique sensibility, despite all the rules and hustle and bustle, and creates in Blandine one of the most likable characters in recent film history.
