Aftersun

At a fading vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie (Britain’s new child star, Frankie Corio) treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum played by Paul Mescal (The Lost Daughter, Normal People), whose performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. 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 Cannes-winning (French Touch Prize of the Cannes Critics’ Week Jury) debut film.
