Synopsis

Two families go on holiday to Germany together. Whilst the children are lost in their own world of innocence and discovery, secrets between the two adult couples begin to unravel.
Both a love letter to Europe, and a study of a peculiarly British dysfunctionality, the film captures a golden summer of innocent childhood alongside the little tragedies of adulthood that define modern life.

Synopsis

Set in the Welsh valleys, during the 1950s, we follow a fairy-tale crazed boy who believes his Father spends every day venturing down the rabbit hole through Wonderland. When his father fails to return from work in the coal mines, he battles with coming to terms with his father's death.

Synopsis

An approach to local history unfolding. The film foregrounds quiet, tender engagement, forms of love, absence, and ritual. A deliberate lack of language underlines recurring inadequacies to express uproot and deeply felt emotions engendered.
A LOVE considers individual and collective loss, value, and necessity for communal recognition.
