IRISH PREMIERE

Against the spectacular yet unforgiving Maine coastline, Pete Muller’s beautifully observed film explores the inner lives of a generation of fishermen. Here, boys are shaped by the brutal winters, their harvesting of the ocean, and the rigid codes of their fathers. Muller’s insightful film offers a timely reflection upon masculinity – its inheritance, pressures, and quiet vulnerabilities – asking what it truly means to be a ‘man’ today in a changing world.

Followed by a Q&A with director Pete Muller
