That Summer
Lava's mother sends him to live with his young uncle by the beach and he's immediately put to work. One day, he finds a man washed up on the shore. At the hospital, Dr. Wut diagnoses the man with amnesia and his uncle…
When rebellious teenager Lava is sent by his mother to spend the summer with his young uncle on a remote Thai island, he expects boredom and hard labor—not a mysterious stranger washing up on the shore. Naming the amnesiac young man 'Wave,' Lava reluctantly becomes his caretaker, and their relationship quickly evolves from exasperated bickering to tender, unexpected intimacy. As Wave's past slowly resurfaces, secrets involving a royal family, political unrest, and a forgotten assassination attempt threaten to pull them apart. Meanwhile, Lava's uncle Pheng navigates a hidden romance with the local Dr. Wut, adding layers of mature emotional conflict. With stunning seaside cinematography and a sun-drenched atmosphere, 'That Summer' is a heartfelt coming-of-age romance that explores identity, memory, and the fleeting magic of a season that changes everything.
