and the cast of 'Summer Rain' at the 2006 Mlaga Film Festival
'Summer Rain' is a 2006 romantic drama film directed by Spanish actor Antonio Banderas from a screenplay by Antonio Soler, based on his novel of the same name.
Plot
The film takes place in 1978 in Mlaga, Spain, and depicts the life of teenager Miguelito Dvila, who after suffering from kidney disease and spending some time at the hospital, has learned such classic poetry as Dante's 'Divine Comedy' and dreams of leaving his job at a hardware store and pursuing his dream of becoming a poet.
One summer, he hangs out with his childhood friends Babirusa, Paco Frontn and Moratalla, until he meets a girl called Luli at the swimming pool, and the two start dating. Luli would love to become a professional dancer, and is best friends with "La cuerpo", who fancies Miguelito's posh friend Paco. The two couples spend time together swimming, and they gradually experiment with other distractions.
Miguelito later meets an older teacher, who is interested in his talent, and begins an affair with her around the same time that Cardona, an older and apparently richer man, starts courting Luli with the promise of helping her career as a dancer.
