Totone is young, lively and carefree. He prefers to spend his time with his mates, going dancing and flirting. Until reality catches up with him. Suddenly he has to take responsibility for his little sister and his parents' run-down farm in the French Jura. In order to make a living, he hatches a plan: he wants to make the best Comté cheese. After all, in addition to a gold medal, the winner of the year can look forward to 30,000 euros in prize money. Totone is supported by his friends, his sister and the love of his life, Marie-Lise. Even if she is not always fully aware of Totone's dubious methods. KINGS OF SUMMER is an enchanting comedy, a film about love and country life in all its beauty, but also in all its roughness. Without kitschy exaggeration and with great empathy for its wonderful characters, KÖNIGE DES SOMMERS paints an authentic picture of life in the country - and the pitfalls of making a good cheese. Louise Courvoisier was awarded the "Prix de la Jeunesse" in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2024 Cannes International Film Festival for her debut film.
