A sweeping romance set at a bohemian artist colony on the picturesque
coasts of pre-war England, Summer In February is based on the true story
of painter sir Alfred Munnings (Dominic Cooper, Mamma Mia!) And his
blue-blood best friend Gilbert (Dan Stevens, “Downton Abbey”). Born into
a working-class family, Munnings rises to become one of the premiere
British artists of his time, winning the affection of aristocratic
beauty Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning, Sleeping Beauty). But when
Gilbert falls for Florence as well, a love triangle emerges with tragic
consequences.

The Cornish coast, a timeless landscape, its beauty an inspiration to
young artists for generations. The hauntingly beautiful, enigmatic
Florence Carter-Wood flees from London, craving excitement and freedom.
She joins her brother in a group of artists whose wild, bohemian world
has as its star the charismatic and larger than life AJ Munnings. AJ and
his best friend - soldier Gilbert Evans – both fall head over heels in
love with Florence, but despite her feelings for Gilbert, Florence is
mesmerized by AJ’s talent and magnetism. Too late she realizes her
mistake, breaking everyone’s heart, especially her own. It is an
unforgettably compelling story, deeply moving - and true.
