FROM 17 Mar
Sophie and her dad Calum are on holiday in Turkey in the late 1990s. Despite a rough start (such as Calum’s broken arm and a room with a double bed rather than twins), it should be bliss – the ‘Macarena’ is blaring, the warm air is filled with the smell of sunscreen and Sophie is capturing it all on her mini-DV cam.
However, cracks begin to emerge in the façade Calum is trying to maintain to give Sophie a perfect holiday.
‘Aftersun’ is a stunner, a heartbreaker on love, grief and the random moments in life that solidify into haunting memories. Lyrical without ever being obtuse, it's a film that flourishes when attention is paid to its details.
