Their artists' camps are recreated in authentic bush settings, which one critic described as having "the soft warmth of a McCubbin painting".Walsh, Geraldine (22 July 1985). "The Heidelberg School has a spell at Brideshead", 'The Sydney Morning Herald'. Film sets true to the period are contrasted with shots of contemporary Melbourne.
The title comes from a letter Conder sent to Roberts, longing for the time they spent painting together at Heidelberg: "Give me one summer again, with yourself and Streeton, the same long evenings, songs, dirty plates, and last pink skies. But these things don't happen, do they? And what's gone is over."[http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/heidelberg-school Heidelberg School] , Australia.gov.au.
