FILM SYNOPSIS
An elegiac portrait of an achingly tender father–daughter bond revealed with the gentlest of touch in this luminous debut.
Eleven-year-old Sophie is on a budget holiday in Turkey with her young divorced dad Calum. On the cusp of adolescence, she is perceptive towards the pains of growing up as well as her dad’s subtle shifts in mood. As an adult, Sophie sifts through the home video footage she made on the trip, which continues to haunt her.
Shot through with sun-bleached nostalgia, Aftersun reassembles Sophie’s well-worn memories with an eye for the most intimate details, searching them for emotional clarity. The film eschews predictable narrative beats of revelation, and invites us to linger in its very particular heartbreak: what it’s like to love someone without ever fully understanding them.
