Renowned artist and filmmaker Dave McKean (MirrorMask), best known for his collaborations with author Neil Gaiman, brings his distinctive blend of live action and gorgeously wrought animation to this dreamlike reverie about a weekend idyll in an isolated seaside house. Dean (Michael Maloney), an artist in his early 50s, lives in a remote and beautifully restored cottage on the rugged coast with his younger girlfriend Freya (Stephanie Leonidas). When two of Dean’s old friends from art school come for a weekend visit, this edge-of-the-world locale becomes the setting for a series of emotional revelations.

Following a painful loss, Grant (Ben Daniels) and Christina (Dervla Kirwan) retreated from the world under a shroud of grief. Now, as they attempt to reconnect with their old friend and his new partner, they confront old wounds and try to forge new pathways to friendship; and when Christina begins to experience magical visions, the others are soon overtaken by their own spells of dreamlike reverie.

With an introduction by director Dave McKean and followed by Q&A with the director and Tom Abba from University of the West of England.
