Episode 7: Aftersun

For our penultimate episode for season 1 of the St Mungo's Film Society Podcast, we will be discussing the poetically beautifully piece of Scottish cinema Aftersun.

Plot: At a fading vacation resort, 11-year-old Sophie treasures rare time together with her loving and idealistic father, Calum. As a world of adolescence creeps into view, beyond her eye Calum struggles under the weight of life outside of fatherhood. Twenty years later, Sophie's tender recollections of their last holiday become a powerful and heartrending portrait of their relationship, as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn't.
