The eponymous summer lover is a forty-something math professor who seemingly has it all: a satisfying career, close friends, and an open relationship with his girlfriend. Despite his freedom, he decides to break up with her—but discovers that she is pregnant and in fact wants to dump him. This is the beginning of Paul Negoescu’s charming urban romantic comedy, a light-hearted investigation of a male psyche in crisis with a satisfying nod to Woody Allen’s classic neurotic love stories, in which the city of Bucharest shines throughout.
