MY SUMMER OF LOVE is the highly anticipated new feature from the award-winning director of LAST RESORT, Pawel Pawlikowski, and produced by Tanya Seghatchian (HARRY POTTER) and Chris Collins (TOMORROW LA SCALA!, LAST RESORT). Boasting exceptional debut performances from two exciting young British actresses, Natalie Press and Emily Blunt, with support from Paddy Considine (LAST RESORT, IN AMERICA), MY SUMMER OF LOVE is an intoxicating tale of obsession and the struggle for love and faith in a world where both seem impossible. Mona (NATALIE PRESS) has just got hold of a brilliant moped that only cost a tenner. She lives with her brother, Phil, (PADDY CONSIDINE) who used to run a pub before he found God and poured away all the booze. Tamsin (EMILY BLUNT) is rich, spoilt and trying to live a life of seductive decadence. They meet on the moors, above their quiet Yorkshire village and begin an intense, unlikely friendship. Tamsin is tragic and fantastical, Mona, rough and witty. Tamsin and Mona want to escape their lives but Phil wants to save them and save everybody else. Mona wants the old, dangerous, Phil back; the brother that she loved. Tamsin wants to see what it takes to break him…
