In the sweltering heat of a Spanish seaside town, Rose and her daughter Sofia arrive to seek help from a mysterious healer for Rose’s unexplained illness. But as Rose turns inward, Sofia is drawn to the magnetic and free-spirited Ingrid, sparking a new sense of independence that begins to strain their fragile relationship. Rebecca Lenkiewicz’s directorial debut is a richly atmospheric adaptation of Deborah Levy’s Booker Prize-nominated novel, starring Emma Mackey, Fiona Shaw, and Vicky Krieps.

‘This is slippery, subversive storytelling that’s very hard to get any firm grasp on – but that is one of its main pleasures.’
