The sensual saga of radiant summer lust
Along a lonely beach on a summer colony off the Long Island coast, a man
walks slowly, reliving a summer when he was 19 - The Summer Of Laura.
Richie, (David Hunter), has a friend on the island, Gene (Eric Edwards),
who is gregarious and mischievous. Like the more sensitive Richie, he
too was 19. During that summer of awakening he loses his youthful
desires and develops his manhood. On the way to the movies, Richie
literally bumps into Laura, (introducing Marcia Moon), an older woman
who lives nearby. She asks him if he'll help her with some chores the
following day.
He is totally flustered, but agrees. Richie goes to her house and after
knocking on the door, and getting no response, enters. On the floor he
finds a crumpled telegram which reads, "Your husband, Bob Hayes, has
been killed in action." Laura appears, lonely and vulnerable. She
moves toward him in a gesture of human contact. They slowly begin to
dance.
"That summer we lost 5 Frisbees, saved a girl from a silly snake, saw
our first skin flick, and I lost my Laura." The sea rises and the past
is over.
