The Summer We Lived

The Summer We Lived[1] (Spanish: El verano que vivimos) is a 2020 romantic melodrama film directed by Carlos Sedes [gl] which stars Javier Rey, Blanca Suárez, and Pablo Molinero in a love triangle.

A different timeline set in 1998 deals with the reconstruction of the aforementioned love story upon the investigations carried out by a journalist trainee working with obituaries (Isabel) who enlists the collaboration of Carlos, the architect's son.

[2][3][4][5] The screenplay was penned by Ramón Campos [gl], Gema R. Neira, Salvador S. Molina, Javier Chacártegui and David Orea.

[10] The film is an Aquel Verano Movie AIE, Warner Bros Entertainment España, Atresmedia Cine, Mr. Fields and Friends, La Claqueta PC, Bambú Producciones and 4 Cats Pictures production.

[15] Elsa Fernández-Santos of El País wrote that the film "confuses eroticism and passion with a grandiloquent epic akin to a tourist postcard, redundant music, aerial shots, and a string of metaphors", with the film resenting from, among other issues, a screenplay "without much narrative foundation" and otherwise also turning out to be "implausible and whimsical".
