Un summer ago It’s a genre series generational thriller. Directed by Davide Marengo and Marta Savina. With Lino Guanciale, Filippo Scotti, Claudia Pandolfi, Antonia Fotaras, Nicole Grimaudo, Paolo Pierobon. On Sky Atlantic and on demand on NOW.
Nostalgia, thriller, supernatural. At the intersection of these symbolic and narrative universes, the original Sky Italia series is included A summer ago. A bet that, from the first episodes, seems successful, capable of devising an attractive and pressing mechanism.
A summer agothe review by Aldo Grasso
Elio is an accomplished middle-aged lawyer, with a quiet family and a comfortable lifestyle; when the police find an old car on the seabed with the body of a girl on board (Arianna, with whom he was in love when he was young), his life takes a strange divergence.
After an accident, he finds himself catapulted into a turbulent swing of memories, forced to live in the present (with the guilt of being the main suspect) and the past, which little by little takes shape among blurry images.

Elio is sucked into the summer of 1990, when a camping holiday with friends turned into tragedy due to the mysterious disappearance of Arianna. A summer ago plays cleverly with a winning device of contemporary TV: the nostalgia for a time that never returns, which here takes on the warm and bright colors of the “magic nights”, of forgotten objects (the jukebox, the cassettes), of a soundtrack capable of marking an era.
For a dive into a recent past and for those who love mystery-tinged thrillers.
