The Summer We Live In is a two-part love story set in Jerez, Spain, in the ’50s, and it’s based on real events. This Thursday at 10:50 p.m., viewers may watch the critically acclaimed production that hit theatres in 2020 on Antena 3.

Starring Blanca Suárez (as Lucia), Javier Rey (as Gonzalo), and Pablo Molinero (as Hernán Ibáez), the film is directed by Carlos Sedes. Alejandro Sanz, the most famous Spanish artist in the world, wrote and composed the primary theme.

Moreno Borja (“Carmen and Lola”), Adelfa Calvo (“The Author,” “The Minimum Island,” “Cell 211,” and “Before the burning”), Manuel Morón (“Cell 211,” and “Before the burning”), and Joaqun Nuez (“45 Revolutions”) round out the cast.

Co-produced by Atresmedia Cine, Bamb Producciones, and Warner Bros.
The Summer We Live In

A teenage journalist finds some strange obituaries in his hands. Unsigned documents are the norm. Constantly devoted to one Luca. One can surmise that they depict a story of love, friendship, and treachery set in the Jerez vineyards during the summer of 1958.

A love that lasts forever, one that the protagonists don’t want to forget even if forty years have gone. It’s true that some memories are meant to be kept forever.

“It has been the summer we lived in,” Blanca Suárez says of the film that brought her and Javier Rey back together. In this interview, the actress said she would never forget her experience filming this film.

The project, according to Javier Rey and Pablo Molinero, is “one of those projects from which you come out a greater actor than you enter.”

After the triumph of “Farina,” Javier Rey had no qualms about reuniting with director Carlos Sedes for “El verano que vivimos.” Their careers had been intertwined for years.
