The Lodolos — Postcards From Last Summer

Postcards From Last Summer — A Coming-of-Age Film Essay

Vivacious twenty-something Emma and Lola go away for the summer holiday. Trying to forget the pressures and anxieties of a world of misconceptions, they struggle with the sorrow of getting back to their daily lives and expectations. Inner thoughts and carefree days transform the bucolic escape into a journey of self-discovery to not give oneself over to what others want. Postcards From Last Summer is a hypertextual coming of age film-essay. Handwriting notes, off-screen narration, and a minimalistic –almost ecstatic– mise-en-scène create an evocative snapshot about the need to find your true self away from social constraints.

Berlin-based Composers Ella Zwietnig -who is also a member of Free The Bid– and Florian Zwietnig, created a mesmerizing dreamy and ethereal soundscape to enhance the summer-ish and evocative spirit of the film, recorded at Oogum Boogum Studios in Berlin, Germany & Ochsendorf, Austria, between June and September 2019.
