An adaptation of celebrated Irish writer John McGahern’s last novel of the same name, this film is a poetic celebration of the everyday. Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate Ruttledge (Anna Bederke) move from London to live and work in the countryside of Joe’s childhood. Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in Ireland in the 1970s through the rhythms of changing seasons, director Collins presents a film replete with extraordinary beauty and truth. One that has been hailed by critics as a 'poignant meditation on life and friendship.

KAMU HAPPY KAN, NAK?
G | 6 mins | Bahasa Indonesia with English subtitles.
A father-daughter relationship is tenderly explored in this short. An affectionate but shy father wants his nonchalant 22-year-old daughter to tell him that she loves him one final time. This is during a midnight talk before the morning of her flight to the United States, where she will be working and settling down. The daughter struggles to express herself as she battles anxiety over her impending move overseas.
