Shooting on a 16mm Bolex camera and constructing all the sound in post, Mark Jenkin writes, directs, edits, and scores a haunting and hallucinatory time-travel mystery that further solidifies him as one of the most distinct, singular artists working in film today. Jenkin conducts a cinematic séance, conjuring a portal into another world that forces us to confront the past and our relationship to it.

30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada disappeared at sea. Now, it has returned. Desperate to make ends meet, two men join its crew and set sail once again, but soon discover they’ve been transported back into the past, where they are mistaken for the original crew.
