Director Tan Chui Mui returned to her birthplace, a quiet and remote Malaysian fishing village, to film Year Without a Summer, a story of boyhood friends who reunite after a long separation. Steeped in the rhythms of the sea, their story develops slowly and mysteriously, in a meditative tone that illuminates the poetry and emotion of their lives.
