Synopsis

A film about fitting in, falling out, getting lost and getting back on track - telling the story of four very different but equally socially awkward people as they heroically muddle through life.
Alf finds other people difficult to read. He lives in a world of his own; everyone else is an alien. With meaning so often lost in translation, Alf stumbles into friendship before falling head over heels in love.
Josie is a dreamer. Having recently graduated from Art School she now finds herself drifting, searching for answers but asking all the wrong questions.
Alison is stuck in her lonely habits. In a small town, it is too easy to keep going over all ground. She makes the same mistakes time and again.
Tony is a hapless romantic. Twice married and seeking a new companion, he lets the need for approval stand in the way of true love.
This is a story of hope - how you never know when a chance meeting or coincidence will change your life for the better. It's about the magic of moments and the influence we each have on each other, often without knowing it.

Reconnecting after years apart, two friends revisit their teenage haunts in the seaside town where they grew up. Together, they confront the past, share who they've become, and conclude the conversation that tore them apart. Witness to this, the sea narrates a tale of memory, belonging, and vulnerability.
