Midsummer Fire

Overview

14-year-old Elias sets off with his father to celebrate Midsummer. A warm summer breeze ruffles his hair and birds chirp in the foliage, but the young boy's heart is heavy. His sister is gone, and neither one knows how to talk about it. As his father tries to drown his grief in a bottle, Elias retreats into himself. Memories and imaginings drift through the present, bringing comfort to the lonely summer night.
