Project Detail

Untitled Lewis Capaldi Documentary

Synopsis

It is early 2020 and 23 year old singer songwriter Lewis Capaldi has just returned home to his parent’s house in rural West Lothian, Scotland, leaving behind a record breaking stadium tour, awards, screaming fans and history making chart success. Finding himself back where he grew up, with his family and old mates, this is a moment of relative calm. But Lewis is at a crossroads. When fame has changed your life beyond all recognition, how do you reconnect to where you came from?

Caught between the pull of fame and the grounding roots of home, Lewis wrestles with the immense pressure of delivering that old Rock and Roll cliché ‘The Difficult Second Album’. From writing new material in a shed at the bottom of the garden at his parents’ house, to recording and then releasing a new album, this young artist will have the courage to invite us into this deeply personal process, laying out his craft and life, exploring his relationship with his roots, his hopes and fears for all the world to see.

In this all-access music documentary, award-winning studio Pulse Films partners with recent breakout artist Lewis Capaldi at a pivotal moment in his career.
Oh, and seeing that this is Lewis Capaldi, it will be a proper laugh too.

An audio cassette tape, with the title 'Childrens Tape for Sue', being repaired. The Solway

Director: Eamon Bourke

Year: 2026

Filmmaker Eamon Bourke lost his mother, Sue, when he was three and has no memory of her. When his father decides to sell the remote Lake District home where she died, Eamon returns with his camera to document the house and its clearing. Among Sue’s belongings - diaries, poems, photographs and tapes - he discovers a box of damaged cassette recordings. After painstakingly repairing them, he uncovers something extraordinary: his mother’s voice. Through these intimate audio diaries, Sue speaks candidly about motherhood, sings to her children, and captures fleeting family moments Eamon never knew. One final tape records her describing the onset of hepatitis, days before she fell into a coma and died in 1983. Another, more haunting still, features three-year-old Eamon calling out to his unconscious mother in hospital, in a desperate attempt to bring her back. As Eamon pieces together this archive, he confronts the enduring impact of early loss, speaking with his father and sisters while retracing the emotional landscape of his childhood. Set against the vast beauty of the Lake District, a deeply personal exploration of grief, memory and love - an attempt to recover what was lost, and to finally say goodbye.
