This short film, from Canada, follows two young teens, one girl who practices mime, the other a boy who wants to be an Indian. They meet in the forest, where they are separately escaping to as they search for their own identify. They form a bond, if only for a short while.
I like the sort of tongue-in-cheek presentation here and the droll presentation by the actors who never quite express any emotion. They are both quirky and their relationship with each other, including a surprise kiss, is doubly quirky. But, it does provoke questions about personal identify.
The film's message is about finding yourself and seeking comfort in another.
I give Indian Summer 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
