Plot

Aaron, a young misfit living in a remote Scottish fishing community, is the lone survivor of a strange fishing accident that claimed the lives of five men including his older brother. Spurred on by sea-going folklore and local superstition, the village blames Aaron for this tragedy, making him an outcast amongst his own people. Steadfastly refusing to believe that his brother has died, he sets out to recover him and the rest of the men.
Cast

Production

The film was shot in Gourdon, Aberdeenshire and editing of the first cut was carried out in Paul Wright's native Fife and continued in London.

It was shown in Critics' Week at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Critical reception

Peter Bradshaw for The Guardian rated it 3/5, comparing it to Bashing (2005) directed by Masahiro Kobayashi, and calling it "a striking film from a valuable new talent." Mark Kermode called it an "affecting and atmospheric fable", praising Kate Dickie's performance as "extraordinary" and likewise that of Michael Smiley.
