Glorious Summer (Poland) by Helena Ganjalyan, Bartosz Szpak

In a serene, sun-drenched world, three young girls spend their days in carefree play, mindfulness exercises, and idle contentment. Their every need is meticulously cared for by an all-encompassing, nurturing system that keeps their lives perfectly stable and predictable. For years, they've lived in this blissful, responsibility-free bubble, where summer never ends.

But cracks soon begin to appear in this idyllic picture. Lip-reading, because some things can't be said out loud. Secretly practicing how to die, which is supposed to be the ticket to "another place." Listening for explosions rumbling in the distance.

Beneath the smiles and cheerful surface, anger and resentment that have been suppressed for years start to surface. The wellness-focused daily routine begins to feel more like a form of enslavement. Everything is heading toward inevitable catastrophe.

Will the girls, raised in a state of perpetual immaturity, be able to cross the boundaries imposed on them by the system?
