Em Robinson

Mara returns to her seaside hometown after years away, caught between nostalgia and an uncertain future. A chance reunion with Jack, a childhood friend who never left, leads them through a day of quiet conversations and shared memories. Together, they realise that growing up doesn’t mean having all the answers, and that home isn’t always a place, but a feeling you slowly find again.

In the Middle Ages, Meggy, a young woman numbed by routine brutality, finds her worldview challenged when her closest friend - the heavily pregnant and quietly radical Eda - dares to dream of something better.
