It's hard to think of a movie better timed than "Summering," which opens with this bit of narration: "In the summer, while it lasts, everything is alive. Anything is possible. At least it feels that way."
Spoken by Daisy (Lia Barnett), that sentiment sets the nostalgic tone of the drama, which takes place this time of year in a village called Midwood. "Summering" follows the adventures of four best friends who know the final days of summer may be their last chance to hang as a group, since they'll soon head to different schools and challenges.
Daisy is the one who spots a body while the quartet is wandering through the woods and, because her dad has recently disappeared from her life, there's a double meaning when she insists, "Someone is waiting for this guy to come home." The mystery, in other words, must be solved and who better to do it than the four friends?
