Statement of Intent
There is a moment — just before the light shifts, before the air changes — when summer begins to slip away. Not with ceremony, but quietly. A glance. A shadow. A silence where warmth once lingered.
This series draws inspiration from the sun-drenched melancholy of Call Me by Your Name and the wistful emotional rhythm of 500 Days of Summer. Both evoke a sense of love and longing shaped by the season, stories where what’s felt matters more than what’s said, and what’s lost lingers longer than what’s held.
Leaving Summer is not a record of endings, but of the traces left behind. A season that leaves not with drama, but with tenderness.
