Synopsis:
Nine-year-old Sophia has her whole life ahead of her — as her grandmother approaches the end of hers. Along with Sophia’s father, the two of them vacation in a cottage on a small, unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland. They explore the island and talk about life, nature, and everything except their emotions surrounding the death of Sophia’s mother and their love for each other. By summer’s end, however, they are closer than ever before.
