My Summer of Love Page #2

Synopsis: A tale of obsession and deception, and the struggle for love and faith in a world where both seem impossible. The film charts the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom one summer for two young women: Mona, behind a spiky exterior, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life; Tamsin is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. Complete opposites, each is wary of the other's differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascination, amusement and attraction. Adding volatility is Mona's older brother Phil, who has renounced his criminal past for religious fervor - which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is experiencing her own rapture. "We must never be parted," Tamsin intones to Mona but can Mona completely trust her?

What is wrong with you?

I just miss me brother.

I'm here.

That ain't you.

It ain't. Mona, this is me.

This is the real me.

I want the old Phil.

That old Phil, he didn't

make me very happy.

He made me happy.

I loved my brother.

He used to be real.

I haven't got any family.

Me home has changed.

No one fancies me.

Come here.

I'm here.

Lord Jesus, watch over

this child. Oh, no!

Watch over my

sister-- F*** off.

F*** off.

I'm looking for Mona, is she here?

Aye, she is. She's in there.

Thanks.

Can you just wait here?

On your left hand side.

What's he making? A cross.

He's putting it up at the top of the

hill, to cleanse the valley of evil.

Now these are nice.

Thanks.

They were me mom's, when

this used to be The Swan.

Are you done?

Yeah. I've got a cab waiting outside.

What for? Because we're going.

Where? You'll see.

Okay.

What do you think of

this place? It's funny.

It's like Lego. It's

all sort of pretense.

And that one there, especially.

You see that house there?

Yeah.

And the posh Jag parked outside?

It's my dad's car.

And he comes here

quite a lot, I think...

'cause this is where his

girlfriend lives and...

his secretary, nice.

And he's in there now, you know.

It must mean he's in there

now with his car there...

and he'll be f***ing her now.

He'll have her bent over the

cooker, f***ing her up her ass.

And Mona, you should see

her. She's just a dog.

She's a f***ing whore...

she's all sort of blond hair and

big tits and these high heels...

and she's got no f***ing

brains. She's got nothing.

This is Edith Piaf.

I just adore her.

She was this marvelous Parisian woman...

who had such a wonderfully tragic life.

And she was married three times...

and each husband died in

mysterious circumstances.

And the last one was a boxing champion

and she killed him with a fork.

She didn't even go to prison...

because in France, crimes

of passion are forgiven.

So, my mother is off touring...

with some dodgy theater company...

pretending to be an actress.

And my father's busy with his secretary.

So I'm practically an orphan.

This is the main guest bedroom.

But it's all moldy and full of dust

'cause we never even have any guests.

Excuse me.

This is my loon mother's rehearsal room.

That's my favorite bathroom.

This is Sadie's room.

Oh.

It's actually turned

into a bit of a shrine.

Because when she died...

my mother wanted to keep

everything exactly as it was.

So you don't go in.

No.

All in all, the house is really

creepy, so you're gonna stay with me.

Come on.

If you hear any strange noises

in the night, don't panic.

It's just the furniture creaking

'cause it's an old house.
