Sander's Midsummer

Sander's Midsummer — Plot

Sander (14) conceals his wounds beneath strict routines and a flawless surface. Forced to celebrate Midsummer at his grandmother’s chaotic country house, his worst nightmares come true. He is transported to a floral fantasy world with everything Sander detests: untamed nature, impulsive creatures, and a total lack of discipline. When he meets the enchanting Solar Queen, Sander finds a counterpart in his strive for order. But the Solar Queen is planning a gruesome Midsummer ritual, and Sander must confront his worst fear: revealing his own imperfection and vulnerability. Sander’s Midsummer is a story of self-acceptance and reconnection - with nature, ourselves, and the people who love us.
