A mysterious meditation app unleashes a terrifying new reality in the hallucinatory trailer for Infinite Summer.
The coming-of-age sci-fi body-horror thriller will be released on DVD and Digital on January 20 via IndiePix Films.
A co-production between Estonia, Spain, and the US, the genre-bending film is written and directed by Miguel Llansó (Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway).
Set during a long, aimless summer in Tallinn, the film follows teenager Mia, who drifts between the sea, the promenade, and the party circuit with her older friends Grete and Sarah — until they encounter a strange man known as Dr. Mindfulness, peddling a bizarre meditation app that promises transcendence.
Though clearly a grifter, his “mindfulness tech” begins to deliver uncanny, mind-altering results. Grete and Sarah dive in. Mia hesitates. But the summer’s pull is strong, and the days stretch endlessly.
As hallucinations blur into reality, a pair of Interpol agents arrive with news: Dr. Mindfulness is connected to Eleusis Biotechnolgies, a company linked to the Tallinn Zoo, where animals and humans alike are beginning to… change. The app’s users seem to dissolve — literally — into something between pollen and cosmic dust.
As the agents race to solve the case, Mia is on the run, torn between trying to save her friends and surrendering to the same strange bliss that’s claimed them. Is this the start of a new species — or the end of being human?
