Last Summer

Parents need to know that Last Summer (Gecen Yaz) is a Turkish coming-of-age film that offers a portrayal of teens free of any responsibilities in summer and spending their time playing, swimming, flirting, and partying. This includes a lot of heavy drinking, some smoking and getting high, and some experimentation and discussion of sex, though there's also a sense of innocence and discovery. A younger teen has a crush on an older teen and tries to impress her, sometimes in ways that could be detrimental to his own well-being, such as drinking too much, smoking, and jumping off a cliff into the sea. He gashes his foot on a rock and gets a deep wound that bleeds and bothers him for days afterwards. Some of the older teens appear to be having sex, and one whose parents died in a car crash scares the passengers in his car by turning his headlights off on a road and nearly getting hit by other cars. Two boys engage in a bloody fist fight. Teens also drink and drive. They kiss and make out and discuss sex and who is a virgin or not. There's talk of "humping," doing "the deed," and "hooking up." Two people appear to have sex on a beach (we see her topless on top of the man), and another couple is caught rolling around together, clothed, on a blanket behind some bushes. A sister walks in on her brother changing clothes and they joke about what she has and hasn't seen before. Language in the English subtitles "f--k," "f--king," "mother--ker," "s--t," "a--hole," "smartass," "son of a bitch," "damn," "hell," "moron," "idiot," "losers," "stupid," "brat," "pee," and "dear God."
