Festival, which takes place 18-24 January in Park City, Utah.Starring Damian Walshe-Howling and newcomer Lucy Tyler, Summer Suit is a wistful story of individuality and resilience about a 10-year-old tomboy whose discovery of an old suit gives her a new sense of identity; when the suit fails her a crisis looms.
