George MacKay (The End, SFF 2025) and Callum Turner (Eternity) star as a pair of lost and bewildered fishermen in this beguiling time travel mystery. Venice 2025.

Award-winning, one-of-a-kind Cornish director Mark Jenkin (Bait, SFF 2019) returns with this strange seafaring story. Thirty years after vanishing off the Cornish coast, the empty but working Rose of Nevada fishing boat suddenly reappears on the harbour of a forgotten village. To support his struggling family, Nick (MacKay) joins a new crew on board, alongside drifter Liam (Turner). But when Nick and Liam return from their first voyage the year is 1993. The village is thriving and locals believe they are the original crew members. Filmed on his 16mm Bolex wind-up camera, Jenkin delivers a compelling social-realist drama and a beguiling other-worldly mystery in this time travelling cinematic adventure.

“Seals its one-man-band creator as a distinctive, now eminently recognisable arthouse voice.”
Guy Lodge, Variety
“At once visually harsh and remarkably beautiful in its attention to detail and texture”
Jonathan Romney, Sight & Sound
“It’s not every day that you see a film that reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time.”
