After they discover their childhood house is about to be demolished, two sisters return home for one last visit – and a chance to say goodbye. What does it mean to let go of the past, especially when our memories are tied to the intimacy of home and the objects within? With its wonderfully evocative cinematography and attention to the textures of the familiar, Maxine Zanoni’s gentle interrogation of nostalgia explores how our attachment to physical spaces can drive our yearning for closure.

An aging Hollywood star, Joe Scott, lives a life of narcissistic hedonism, observed by his laconic personal assistant, Ophelia. The death of his childhood best friend, Boots, takes our protagonist, and the movie, into an extended flashback to a sea-side town in 1970s Britain.

Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife, only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away.
