(2025, United Kingdom, 114')
In the suspended silence of a remote fishing village, a boat resurfaces from the depths and docks in the harbor: the Rose of Nevada, which had mysteriously vanished thirty years earlier along with its entire crew. For some villagers, it is a sign, a fragile hope that prosperity might return after years of hardship. Nick, a young father, and Liam, a man fleeing his past, accept work on board. The voyage seems to promise long-awaited redemption, but upon their return something has shifted: nothing is as it was, and no one seems to recognize them anymore. A hypnotic sea tale that plunges into mystery, weaving themes of memory, identity, and a time that never gives back exactly what it takes.
Mark Jenkin (Newlyn, 1976) is a filmmaker, screenwriter, editor, and musician. He teaches at Falmouth University and is known for his handcrafted approach to cinema, rooted in the landscapes of his native Cornwall, a constant presence in his work. With Bait (2019), he won the BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer, establishing himself as a cult author. After the folk thriller Enys Men (Cannes 2022), Rose of Nevada continues his poetic and radical exploration of memory and perception, set against a landscape where the boundary between real and unreal is as thin as the horizon line.
