Forget about “zen” and “inner peace”—this meditation app is about to break reality. Infinite Summer, the latest mind-bending feature from visionary director Miguel Llansó (Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway), is officially heading to your home screen. After racking up “Best Film” nominations at prestigious festivals like Fantasia and Sitges, this hallucinatory sci-fi thriller is coming home.
If you’re looking for a movie that blends the vibes of a sunny coming-of-age story with the dread of a Cronenberg body horror flick, your winter watchlist just found its MVP.
The Plot: Transcendence or Transmutation?
Set during a hazy, aimless summer in Tallinn, Estonia, the story follows teenage Mia (Teele Kaljuvee-O’Brock). She’s drifting through the usual summer routine of beach days and parties with her friends Grete and Sarah. That is, until they cross paths with a sketchy dude calling himself Dr. Mindfulness.
He’s peddling a high-tech meditation app that promises a “second birth” and total transcendence. While Mia is skeptical, her friends dive headfirst into the tech, which involves a strange respirator and some very real, very unsettling hallucinations.
Things get weird fast. The “mindfulness tech” actually starts altering the users’ body chemistry. When Interpol agents show up with a wild revelation—Dr. Mindfulness is associated with a biotech company that’s conducting experiments on animals (and humans) at the local zoo.
Why You Need to See It
Miguel Llansó is a master of “DIY lo-fi sci-fi,” and Infinite Summer is his most polished and provocative work yet. It’s a surreal satire on our obsession with wellness apps and the terrifying potential of AI to reshape human identity.
Critics are already calling it a “transhumanist trip” and a “poetic meditation on technology.” The film that asks: Is this the evolution of our species, or just an excellent way to go extinct?
The cast includes Teele Kaljuvee-O’Brock, Johanna-Aurelia Rosin, and Hannah Gross (Mindhunter).
