Directed by Charlotte Wells, this drama focuses on family life and interactions, both real and imagined. It follows the story of an adult woman named Sophie who reminisces about moments spent with her father during her childhood. In particular, she views camera footage of their vacation in a seaside resort somewhere in Turkey. As her father separated from her mother when she was eleven, these memories of bonding are treated as precious, but also an investigation of the real persona of her father. Starring Paul Mescal, Celia Rowlson-Hall, and Frankie Corio.
