Details
Filmed over 25 years, The Illusion of an Everlasting Summer traces the lives of two inseparable cousins, Guillermina and Belinda, as they grow up in the vast Argentine Pampas.
The film begins in 1999, when photographer-filmmaker Alessandra Sanguinetti invites her nine-year-old neighbours to share their dreams and fantasies, sparking a magical, deeply collaborative process that spans two decades. As Guillermina and Belinda leave childhood behind, their games take on the poignant weight of real-world desires and the realities of a male-centered rural life.
The result is a portrait of female intimacy and friendship, at once quiet and poetic, in which the fantastic and the mundane are intimately entwined. With the passage of time as its most palpable tension, the film becomes a bittersweet record of what changes and what remains in the inevitable arrival of adulthood.
Playing as part of LDNDOCS 2026 festival.
