At a fading vacation resort, 11 year old Sophie treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum (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 she knew with the man she didn't, in Charlotte Wells’ superb and searingly emotional debut film.
Nominated for an Oscar® and four BAFTAS.
Winner of French Touch Prize of the Critics' Week Jury at Cannes Film Festival 2022
“The film has a beguiling looseness — it captures that familiar holiday feeling of good days and bad days, or moods turning for no particular reason, other than maybe spending a bit too long in each other’s company.” — Tim Robey, The Telegraph.
