WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Caitlin (Harrier), an American student studying at the Glasgow School of Art, has her world rocked by the unexpected death of her father. Overwhelmed by grief, she starts to re-evaluate her life, her relationships – among them the one she shares with her housemate and best friend Hannah (Vinaite) – and her end-of-year presentation, all while trying to find the balance in her turbulent existence once more…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Songwriter Simon Neil makes his screenwriting debut with the latest project by filmmaker Jamie Adams – now on his third (!) major release of the year – which deals with several subjects including grief and friendship.
