From Friday πŸ“£

On the Sea

A moving exploration of masculinity and desire in a remote yet savagely beautiful fishing community, from writer-director Helen Walsh.


On the windswept coast of Wales, Jack (Barry Ward) – rugged and sensitive – lives a life as constant as the churning of the ocean: married to his high school sweetheart, operating a struggling sea-to-table fishing business with his narrow-minded brother, and trying to keep his son out of trouble.


At the edge of the town, Daniel (Lorne MacFadyen) steps into the scene. A seasonal worker sporting a neck tattoo, he turns out to be the chance Jack can’t afford not to take.


In this remote, rural community where life revolves around church and fishery, Jack is faced with an impossible dilemma.
