Overview
Student film by students of University of Amsterdam “April Summers” explores how queer community shapes identity through the story of Hildo Groen, who finds his place not in Den Helder but in the bars, stages, and friendships that let him grow. From Sonny’s small-town bar to Amsterdam’s queer culture, the documentary shows how April took shape through community, experience, and finding ‘home’.
