Short synopsis: "Just Like You" is a poignant short documentary that follows a handyman from the south coast of England as he delves into his own opiate addiction, seeking to understand its roots in inter-generational trauma within his family. Determined to break the cycle before it impacts his young daughter, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
Feature synopsis:
"Aftersun," which juxtaposes a hopeful coming-of-age story with a moving family portrait, leaving a lasting impact on viewers. In "Aftersun," set in a fading vacation resort in the late 1990s, 11-year-old Sophie cherishes precious moments with her loving and idealistic father, Calum. However, as she witnesses the challenges he faces beyond their idyllic holiday, she begins to grasp the weight of his struggles outside of fatherhood. Two decades later, Sophie's bittersweet memories of their last vacation paint a powerful and heartrending picture of their relationship. Through Charlotte Wells’ exceptional and emotionally charged debut film, she endeavors to reconcile the father she thought she knew with the man he truly was
