Aftersun
He danced with her like everything was fine. She understood it years later. 💙 #Aftersun
Who it's for
Aftersun is built from the way we actually remember a parent: fragments of home video, half-understood moments, and later adult understanding pressed on top of them.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Charlotte Wells's debut feature follows 11-year-old Sophie on a 1999 holiday at a Turkish seaside resort with her father Calum, who is about to turn 31. Calum is warm and playful with her while privately struggling with something he tries to hide, and Sophie records parts of the trip on a MiniDV camcorder.
