Summer in your eyes it is fully part of the teen drama archetype, as capable of deeply plumbing the sensations of a generation as it is at risk of fraying in the long run for a more mature target.
Inspired by the novel The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han, who also wrote the adaptation, the series tells the story of Belly (Lola Tung) and her love triangle with two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah.
Children of families who have been dating for a long time, friends since childhood, the three live a summer that will lead them to confront the classic problems of adolescencethat unrepeatable moment in which childhood gives way forever to growth with all its contradictions.

Summer in your eyes is a full blown teen drama, of the colored and glossy ones that we have come to appreciate around the mid-nineties.
Thanks to a photograph and a well-finished aesthetic (the exclusivity of places and homes often appears in this type of product), the series traces with particular effectiveness the summer atmospheres in which to recognize yourself, that feeling of an age that you would never want to endthe challenge of becoming great by freeing yourself from certainties.
For boys and girls who want to identify with the tormented and irresistible hairpin bends of the “coming-of-age”.
