Tension swamps a Cornish fishing village as the locals are being crowded out by tourists and second home owners. Hailed as a modern masterpiece by Mark Kermode.
Modern-day Cornish fisherman Martin (Edward Rowe) is struggling to buy a boat while coping with family rivalry, the influx of Londoners, Airbnb and stag parties to his harbour village. The summer season brings simmering tensions between the locals and newcomers to boiling point, with tragic consequences.
Mark Jenkin has given us a brilliantly original, intriguing and deeply engaging story which is sure to resonate with anyone who has spent any amount of time in Cornwall as a tourist or otherwise.
Jenkin’s latest, 'Enys Men' is showing from Friday 10 February.
