Aftersun

Charlotte Wells, UK, USA 2022, 96’
Never Rarely Sometimes Always All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt

A personal story about a vacation by a father and his teenage daughter to Turkey. Wells builds a beautiful and at the same time shocking portrait of parenting using impressions and fleeting emotions. In a simple and authentic way, she talks about relationships, adolescence, but also about illness.
