A co-production between Estonia, Spain, and the US, the genre-bending film is written and directed by Miguel Llans\u00f3 (Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway).<\/p>\n
Set during a long, aimless summer in Tallinn, the film follows teenager Mia, who drifts between the sea, the promenade, and the party circuit with her older friends Grete and Sarah \u2014 until they encounter a strange man known as Dr. Mindfulness, peddling a bizarre meditation app that promises transcendence.<\/p>\n
Though clearly a grifter, his \u201cmindfulness tech\u201d begins to deliver uncanny, mind-altering results. Grete and Sarah dive in. Mia hesitates. But the summer\u2019s pull is strong, and the days stretch endlessly.<\/p>\n
As hallucinations blur into reality, a pair of Interpol agents arrive with news: Dr. Mindfulness is connected to Eleusis Biotechnolgies, a company linked to the Tallinn Zoo, where animals and humans alike are beginning to\u2026 change. The app\u2019s users seem to dissolve \u2014 literally \u2014 into something between pollen and cosmic dust.<\/p>\n
As the agents race to solve the case, Mia is on the run, torn between trying to save her friends and surrendering to the same strange bliss that\u2019s claimed them. Is this the start of a new species \u2014 or the end of being human?<\/p>\n
Teele Kaljuvee-O\u2019Brock, Johanna-Aurelia Rosin, Ciaron Davies, and Hannah Gross (\u201cMindhunter\u201d)\u00a0star.<\/p>\n
Infinite Summer was nominated for Best Film at both the Fantasia International Film Festival and the Sitges Film Festival last year.<\/p>\n
