Drama

Aaron, a young misfit living in a remote Scottish fishing community, is the lone survivor of a strange fishing accident that claimed the lives of five men including his older brother. Spurred on by sea-going folklore and local superstition, the village blames Aaron for this tragedy, making him an outcast amongst his own people. Steadfastly refusing to believe that his brother has died, he sets out to recover him and the rest of men.

VIBE

This film feels like a cold, damp wind off the North Sea. It's a brooding, isolated experience steeped in folklore and the crushing weight of community suspicion. A slow-burn descent into grief and the desperate search for belonging.
