Winner of the Audience Award after its world premiere at the 2021 Glasgow Film Festival, Marley Morrison’s debut captures the ups and downs of the quintessential British family holiday. For AJ (Nell Barlow), planning a gap year to knit jumpers for elephants is much more appealing than spending a week at a British seaside holiday park. Yet, she finds herself on a journey to the Dorset coast with her mum Tina (Jo Hartley, This is England ). Met by older sister Lucy (Sophia Di Martino, Loki ), and boyfriend Steve (Samuel Anderson, Doctor Who ), AJ expects this to be "a week of hell" . That is, until she lays her eyes on Isla (Ella-Rae Smith), the resident lifeguard... Showing as part of our Rip It Up: Find Your Own Way season of films celebrating youth culture and coming of age in the UK, programmed by young people across Edinburgh. Supported by funding from the BFI delivered through Film Hub Scotland.
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
