Eva Pramschüfer: Weisser Sommer

With devotion and stylistic finesse, Eva Pramschüfer tells a story of first love, of art, and of what divides and unites us as human beings. 

Alma and Théo actually love each other. Their first encounter felt like the beginning of something great; the time that followed felt like a promise. And yet they now find themselves caught between two truths: they love each other, and yet their relationship lies in ruins.

How do you know if you can be happy together—or if you’d be happier alone? In search of answers, the two spend another summer at Alma’s parents’ house in France and vow not to leave until they’re certain: hold on or let go.

“Such profound emotions, portrayed so intelligently and with such keen insight. Eva Pramschüfer has found words for which none existed before.”Christoph Kramer
