Synopsis

At a fading vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum. Twenty years later, Sophie’s tender recollections of their last holiday become a powerful and heartrending portrait of their relationship.

Our take

Oscar®-nominated Paul Mescal and newcomer Frankie Corio are unforgettable as a dad and daughter abroad in Charlotte Wells’s moving debut. Revealing the laughs, heartache and tenderness of a trip that means more with each passing moment, Aftersun captures a family snapshot of astonishing poignancy.
