Tensions simmer as a mother and daughter’s bond (Emma Mackey, Sex Education and Fiona Shaw, Killing Eve) is tested on the shores of the sun-kissed seaside town of Almeria. Estranged from her father, Sofia acts as caregiver for Rose, who is afflicted with a mysterious illness – taking her to local private physician Dr. Gomez in the hopes that he may hold the answer to her recovery.
But, arriving on horseback along the picturesque sands, alluring stranger Ingrid (Vicky Krieps, Phantom Thread) threatens to unravel their suffocatingly close-knit connection.
The directorial debut of acclaimed The Salt Path screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz, this beguiling psychological coming-of-age story of maternal bonds and sexual emancipation boasts a ferocious performance from the magnificent Fiona Shaw alongside a magnetic turn by fast-rising talent Emma Mackey.
