Summer Love is an anthology series in which eight very different sets of people rent the same holiday house and encounter some incarnation of love.
In tonight’s episode, When odd couple Luke (Tim Draxl) and Olly (Harry McNaughton) book a romantic weekend away at the house for their three-year anniversary.
The couple find themselves forced to confront societal expectations of being gay men versus what they actually want as a happy couple.
Summer Love harnesses the collision between the dreamy enchantment of the beach and the clumsy reality of humans on holiday.
Funny and uplifting, the series captures the anonymity, the possibility, the escape that we all feel on vacation – alongside the sunburn and the sand in the sheets. The house, hanging over the ocean, is the portal for love – to be discovered, or recovered, or let go.
