I‘LL BE GONE IN JUNE

It’s 2001, and 16-year-old Franny from Germany dreams of experiencing America as an exchange student. She had imagined the glamour of New York, but instead finds herself in a sleepy desert town in New Mexico in the haunting days after 9/11. Far from home, Franny drifts through awkward high school days, stifling heat, and restless nights until she meets Elliott, a boy whose quiet sadness mirrors her own. In a landscape seemingly stripped of humanity, an unexpected tenderness begins to bloom. Together, they chase the fragile promise of forever before June arrives and time carries her away once more.

I‘LL BE GONE IN JUNE is Katharina Rivilis’ debut feature-length film as a director.
