Summer 1993
Summer 1993 (Catalan: Estiu 1993) is a 2017 Catalan-language Spanish drama film directed and written by Carla Simón. The film premiered in the Generation section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the GWFF (Gesellschaft zur Wahrnehmung von Film- und Fernsehrechten) Best First Feature Award. The movie centers around a six year old girl named Frida who is sent to live with her aunt, uncle and cousin during the summer of 1993. It was chosen as the Spanish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards, but in the end it was not nominated for an award.
The film follows Frida (Laia Artigas), a six year old girl who must leave her home in Barcelona following the death of her mother. Frida moves to the Catalan countryside with her aunt Marga (Bruna Cusí), her uncle Esteve (David Verdaguer), and their three year old daughter, Anna (Paula Robles). The movie takes place during the summer of 1993 as Frida adapts to her new life in the country and her role as older sister to her cousin. At first, Frida has difficulties adjusting, as the environment she is surrounded by in the countryside is vastly different from that which she knew in the city. At one point, Frida even considers running away. However, as the film progresses, Frida begins to integrate with her new family and enjoy spending time with them at the pool and at home, where she is seen dancing with her adoptive father. The film concludes at the end of the summer, when Frida finally begins to express her true emotions in the presence of her new family.

The film opens with several scenes depicting Frida's move from Barcelona to her new home in the countryside with her adoptive parents (her aunt Marga and uncle Esteve). In one of these moments, Frida's grandmother teaches her how to recite the prayer and hands her a card from Frida's mother's first communion. The card has a picture of Frida's mother on it as a young girl. Shortly after her arrival at her new home, Frida finds a statue of the Virgin Mary in a dirt recess in the woods. Throughout the film, Frida returns to this spot several times, leaving cigarettes and a polka dotted garment with the statue as a gift to her mother.
Later, Frida's mother's illness is mentioned when Frida and Marga are in a meat shop. Marga speaks to the vendor, and it is suggested that the illness was pneumonia, but no one confirms this. Following this scene, Frida sits in the car and itches her arm. Marga tells her not to itch and asks Frida what is wrong. Frida tells Marga that she's bothered by her hair, so Marga hands her a comb to fix it with. Frida throws the comb out the window.
In the next scene, Frida is at the doctor's office getting blood drawn. Frida says that she was told before that there wouldn't be any more tests. Marga and the doctor discuss this, and the doctor tells Marga that they need more tests to ensure that the previous results were correct. Back at the house, Frida is in the yard with Anna. Frida puts on eyeshadow and lipstick on her cheeks and wears a fur boa as Anna watches. Then, Frida and Anna begin to play mother and child. During the game, Anna repeatedly asks Frida to play with her as if she were her mother, and Frida repeatedly refuses, saying that she's too sore to play and that they will play later. Later, Frida lies in bed, prays, and looks at her mother's communion card.
In the next scene, Frida is introduced to Irene while watching the "big heads." Then, the two girls are seen talking on the playground, but every time Frida asks Irene a question, Irene answers and then moves to the other side of the playground. Eventually, Irene tells the other children that Frida is playing the game with them now. Irene and the other kids run away from Frida, leaving her to chase them. While running, Frida trips and scrapes her knee. Irene's mother tells Irene not to touch Frida, and Marga tells Irene's mother not to say things like that where everyone can hear them. Back home, Marga cleans the wound with heavy duty gloves, and tells Anna to stay away until she's finished.
Later, Frida's grandfather (Fermí Reixach) and grandmother (Isabel Rocatti) come to visit. During the visit, Marga asks Frida to tie her shoe, but Frida refuses, asking her grandfather to do it instead. Marga tells Frida that she must do it, and Frida refuses again. Then, Frida's grandmother once again teaches Frida the prayer as a way to connect with her mother. Frida's grandmother tells Frida that her mother loved her very much. In the next scene, Frida's grandparents tell Marga and Esteve that they want to visit on Sundays, but Marga and Esteve aren't sure about this. It is revealed that Frida's mother wrote a letter with her wishes for Frida after her death, but Frida's grandmother says that her mother always made bad decisions.
