    The Last Summer of the Boyita

    Julia SOLOMONOFF 2009 Argentina Fiction color 86min Spanish 35mm
    Every summer since my parents bought a La Boyita for travelling, and I imagined a series of adventures through rivers and forest. One summer, everything changed. I knew I would be painfully left aside by my older sister, who began her adolescence, for “privacy,” a word that to me sounded like exclusion and loneliness. I decided to go to the country with my dad and be with Mario, the son of the farmhands, who was our country playmate. But Mario was going through his own transformation, one significantly more profound than my sister’s. He wasn’t a boy like others...
    The idea of The Last Summer of the Boyita emerges from Julia Solomonoff’s memory. She had happened to hear a conversation between her mother, a gynecologist, and her father, a psychiatrist. Her mother consulted her father about her patient, a country boy who was menstruating. SOLOMONOFF was beginning the transformations of puberty and with all those confusion and fears, and was struck hard by the event. Over the years, she inquired about that boy and researched the subject. She wrote the first draft of this film in 2003.
