WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Martin (Rowe), a modern-day Cornish fisherman, is left without a boat when his brother Steven (King) repurposes it as a tourist tripper, which drives a wedge between the brothers. As the family drama as well as Martin’s disdain for outside tourists begins to boil over, tragedy strikes…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Filmmaker Mark Jenkin shot his new film entirely on a vintage 16mm camera with monochrome Kodak stock, giving it the look and authenticity of a film you’d find from the archives of the early-to-mid 20th century.
