Synopsis

Set on the Chilean coast in 1989, Summer War follows Udo Berger, an American board wargame champion, who arrives with his partner for a summer vacation that soon turns unsettling when obsession, paranoia, and the disappearance of a tourist put everything that seemed peaceful at risk, blurring the line between game and reality.
