剧场表演出身的瑞士女导演黛尔芬罗里赛，改编著名小说〈Year of the Drought〉的《地平线上．炙热之夏》，描述1976年欧洲遭逢热浪的夏天，13岁农场少年面对家庭崩毁、青春成长的生活变化。黛尔芬罗里赛以精湛的人性刻画，讲述一则告别童年与女性自觉的故事。看似风光明媚的乡间风景，实则内蕴性别角力与死亡暗潮。曾演出蔡明亮《脸》的欧洲名模蕾蒂莎卡斯塔，在片中也展现洗尽铅华的内敛演出。
A grieving widow is invited to her late husband's family estate, but when she is forced to stay until she gives birth, she must confront whether her child is cursed or if she is losing her mind.
