Curro is a kitchen robot salesman who dreams of making it big in the financial world. After a marital crisis, and despite being burdened by debt, he makes a promise he cannot possibly keep: if his 9-year-old son, Nico, gets straight A’s in school, then Curro says he will take Nico on an unforgettable summer holiday. When Nico fulfils his part of the deal, father and son set out on a journey that will change their lives.
The Best Summer of My Life is an enchanting comedy about our flights of fancy in showering our loved ones with untold joys. Curro’s greatest gift to Nico is to dream with abandon and yet not forget who he is, bringing a message of resilience and love.
