Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN GroningenGripping portrait of a father-daughter relationship - full of love, loss and the things that remain unspoken.
How do you remember someone you knew as a child but never fully understood? In Aftersun, Charlotte Wells' impressive debut novel, adult Sophie looks back on a summer holiday she spent as an 11-year-old girl with her young father Calum at a Turkish resort. Through sunny video footage and melancholic memories, a subtle and poignant portrait of a father-daughter relationship unfolds - full of love, loss and the things that remain unspoken.
With a phenomenal Paul Mescal (Normal People) and a stunning breakthrough role by Frankie Corio, Aftersun manages to evoke deep emotions without ever becoming sentimental. The film was acclaimed worldwide and nominated for several awards, including an Oscar for Best Actor.
