Overview

• Debuting in Venice’s Orizzonti section, the film stars George MacKay and Callum Turner alongside Francis Magee, Edward Rowe, Rosalind Eleazar, Mary Woodvine and Adrian Rawlins.
• The story follows a Cornish trawler that reappears decades after it was lost as its new crew return to a village that treats them as the original men in 1993.
• Shot on 16mm with a hand-wound Bolex, the film features hand-processed images and a fully post-created soundscape built through rigorous ADR, with Jenkin contributing effects.
• Critics describe a creepier, more overt genre turn than Bait and Enys Men, highlighting the film’s eerie mood and intentionally ambiguous conclusions.
• Production was led by Denzil Monk on a real fisherman’s vessel, with Protagonist Pictures handling international sales and screenings set for the New York and London film festivals.
