Summer Blues Soundtrack (2015)

Synopsis

Filmmaker Lilly Radloff's childhood was blessed by long winter holidays. Her paternal grandmother, or Oma, was German and lived in Bad Homburg vor der Hohe, Germany and her maternal nanna was Chinese-Noongar and lived in Narrogin, WA. Lily spent many vacations in Germany, sledding and building snowmen while her grandmother cooked wintertime feasts. Back in Australia, Lily would visit her nanna in the cool region of Southwest Australia; there they would hunt for goanna and cook it on an open fire. Lily's happiness became deeply entwined with the wintertime so when her grandmothers passed away during the Australian summer, Lilly became afflicted with Seasonal Affective Disorder, in her case the 'summer blues'. This film is a personal and poetic exploration of childhood and the nature of trauma.
