Charlotte Wells makes her directorial feature debut with AFTERSUN; a naturalistic, deeply-felt drama of a father-daughter bond. Poetic, hypnotic and evocative, AFTERSUN is a tender examination of human frailty and familial bonding.

Eleven-year-old Sophie (Frankie Corio) is on holiday in Turkey with her dad (Paul Mescal). He’s fun and supportive, but young enough to be mistaken for her brother. Sophie is perceptive enough to understand when his words don’t match his manner but is enjoying their summer together too much to worry. It is only years later, through hazy memory and home video footage, that Sophie can better understand that her remembrance may not match the moment. The debut feature of Charlotte Wells, AFTERSUN is a naturalistic drama that scooped the British Independent Film Awards, winning Best Film, Director, and Screenplay.
