Synopsis: | Julie's Summer Album takes place in the summer of 1995 on an island off the coast of Washington State. Julie, a 12 year old girl, visits her Aunt Rhetta, an accountant and local "personality." Julie and Rhetta struggle to understand each other's interests and values; Julie especially tries to introduce Rhetta to the possibilities of the internet and global communication. After being stood up on her first date in months, Rhetta drinks heavily and is unable to supervise Julie's visit to an online chat room. In the chat room, an unknown user sexually propositions Julie, terrifying her. Rhetta and her neighbor (a teenage girl unlike Julie) are left to undo the damage caused to Julie, reaching her through the lyrics of the John Lennon song "Julia" and a sincere offer of friendship. | |||||
