Sunbeat

Directed by Clara Laperrousaz, Laura Laperrousaz

Produced by Alfama Films, Leopardo Filmes

A sun-drenched family drama where a vacation becomes a crucible for buried grief and secrets, told through the fractured perspective of a child caught between loyalty and truth.

Gabriel and Iris head back to their family holiday home in Portugal with their daughters Emma and Zoé, a couple of adorable six-year-old twins, for a vacation. In the heart of the sun-drenched countryside, as the little ones swim and laugh, the couple’s past begins to rear its head. Emma is overwhelmed by a secret that is simply too big for her to keep, and which she has no right to share with her twin sister.
