Synopsis
Nice, summer of 1936. The elite are stunned as the first working-class vacationers arrive on the French Riviera, thanks to newly granted paid leave. In this clash of worlds, four women from different backgrounds find themselves entangled in a murder at the chic Hotel Riviera. A crime that will shatter their families, their romances, and their lives forever.
Our take
Summer of ’36 features a powerhouse quartet of lead actresses (Julie de Bona, Sofia Essaïdi, Nolwenn Leroy, and Constance Gay) at a pivotal moment in 20th-century history: the introduction of France’s first paid vacations. Set against the glamorous backdrop of a luxury hotel in Nice, the series immerses viewers in a gripping narrative defined by class warfare and deeply buried secrets.
