Elegant Angel presents their newest feature romance in Summer and Joy, where a young love that once seemed unbreakable, quietly unravels in the crossroads of middle age. Summer Love, an achingly sincere poet, and Joy Jones, an ambitious photographer, reflect on the passionate beginnings of their relationship and the complicated reality it has become. From the sun-drenched California beaches of their youth to the mundane distance of their present day, their story unfolds through memory, poetry, and the unflinchingly honest lens of Joy's camera.
