My Take:
Travel back to the 1950s. Rose is a vibrant camp leader at Belvidere Camp for Girls. Her world is orderly until Gin—a confident, slightly older camp nurse—arrives. The spark between them is instantaneous and electric. The film gracefully depicts the dance of attraction in an era where one wrong look could ruin everything. It’s a short but intense journey through desire trying to find its way in the stifling heat of conservative America.
What's Captivating: The aesthetic and the chemistry. The film features a beautiful color palette reminiscent of vintage summer postcards. The leads (Molly Way and Stacia Hitt) excel at conveying emotion through subtle gestures and silence. It’s a production that prioritizes mood and sensuality over explicitness.
A Word of Caution: The runtime. This is a short film (around 38 mins), so the story ends sooner than you’d like. While some might want more character development, as a short form, it delivers exactly what it promises.
Verdict: 7.0/10 🏕️💌🌲
A charming, stylish, and tension-filled short that feels like a summer fling—intense and memorable.
