Scottish director Charlotte Wells makes her spellbinding feature debut with this deeply affecting familial drama of a father-daughter bond.

Taking place over the course of a brooding weekend at a fading coastal resort in Turkey, 11-year-old Sophie (newcomer Francesca Corio) and her idealistic father, Calum (Oscar-Nominee, Paul Mescal), share a close and loving bond that creates an entire world unto itself. As the world of adolescence creeps into Sophie’s view, beyond her eye Calum struggles under the weight of life outside of fatherhood.

Twenty years later, Sophie's tender recollections of their last holiday become a powerful and heartrending portrait of their relationship, as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn't.

"Aftersun..is the type of movie from which you don’t walk away the same person." - The Wrap
