Mark Jenkin's "Rose of Nevada" presents a science-fiction tale set against the backdrop of Cornwall's coastal villages. The narrative centers on a ship, the titular Rose, which reappears after a 30-year disappearance.
Two impoverished fishermen, Nick (George MacKay) and Liam (Callum Turner), take employment on the vessel, unaware of its eerie history and the potential fate of its former crew. Their decision plunges them into a world where time distorts and personal identities blur.
As the story unfolds, the fishermen face unsettling changes, with their own homes and loved ones exhibiting altered realities, some even failing to recognize them. The film was shot on a 16mm Bolex camera, with sound design meticulously crafted during post-production.
