This harrowing film chronicles a few months in the life of a single mother (Dominique Reymond) of seven illegitimate children and her struggles on a French farm. Their father (Daniel Duval) owns the farm where the woman and kids live and work, but he lives with his legitimate family in town. He pays periodic visits to the farm and works the children hard. The mother thinks about leaving but doesn't know how she could start over. When the father isn't there, the children are playful and carefree.
Unrated, 1 hr. 30 min.

A bleak film that has a big heart.
Concludes with some of the most beautifully rendered scenes in recent French cinema.
Summer Fling was actually called The Last of the High Kings. They changed it for U.S video release. Now what the hell is the point of re-naming something that's already in english? I read some philosophy blogs today. They were great.
