At a fading vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum (Oscar nominee Paul Mescal). As a world of adolescence creeps into view, beyond her eye Calum struggles under the weight of life outside of fatherhood.
Twenty years later, Sophie’s tender recollections of their last holiday become a powerful and heartrending portrait of their relationship, as she tries to reconcile the father that she knew with the man that she didn’t, in Charlotte Wells’ superb and searingly emotional debut film.
