Writer/director Charlotte Wells makes her feature debut with the
1990s set drama Aftersun. The film stars Frankie Corio in her debut role as an 11-year-old
enjoying a holiday with her father (Paul Mescal), who unbeknownst to
her is struggling with his own issues.
Aftersun is in UK/ROI cinemas from November 18th.
Check out the new UK trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
At a fading vacation resort in the late 1990s, 11-year-old Sophie (Frankie Corio) treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum (BAFTA winner Paul Mescal, Normal People). As a world of adolescence creeps into 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, in Charlotte Wells’ superb and searingly emotional debut film.
