An isolated older man falls for his nurse in a well-intentioned but erratically edited film undercut by poorly written characters with lengthy, repetitive dialogues

Shot in the scenic North Yorkshire fishing village of Staithes, Christopher Clarke’s drama seeks to contrast the majestic beauty of the landscape with the loneliness of ageing.
