Glorious Summer is an enigmatic and understated film about three young women living in a grand palace where every need is met – but one rule is absolute: they can never leave. Their days are filled with rituals and silence, guided by an anonymous voice giving instructions. Beneath the serene surface, unease begins to grow. The women develop secret touch signals and practice playing dead, believing it may be their path to escape.

The film paints a dreamlike landscape bathed in sunlight and calm. Directors Helena Ganjalyan and Bartosz Szpak use slow pacing and precise compositions to build a suffocating atmosphere in which beauty gradually turns unsettling. The three actresses create a compelling dynamic, each responding differently to captivity.

Glorious Summer invites reflection and offers no easy answers. With its poetic form and slow build, it is an inexplicable and deeply captivating cinematic experience.
