ATMOSPHERIC COMING-OF-AGE FILM WITH A LIGHT MYSTERY MOOD

Eleven-year-old Evie tra­vels to Cornwall for a sum­mer vaca­ti­on with her mother. On the rug­ged coast of sou­thern England, she meets Adam, who shows her around. Together they dis­co­ver a mys­te­rious aban­do­ned tin mine on the out­skirts of the town, from which stran­ge noi­ses emana­te and mys­te­rious voices call out to them. As they begin to ques­ti­on what is real or ima­gi­ned in their lives abo­ve ground, the sto­ries from their child­hood unra­vel and a dar­ker, more com­plex pic­tu­re of the adult world beg­ins to take shape. A super­b­ly acted, visual­ly stun­ning fea­ture film debut from direc­tor Lucy Cohen.
