Gareth wakes early to find a calving cow is missing, and sets off across his farm to find her as the day breaks again to relentless summer sun.

The Long Dry

Cynan Jones

Cove

Out at sea, in a sudden storm, a man is struck by lightning. When he wakes, injured and adrift on a kayak, his memory of who he is and how he came to be here is all but shattered. He will need to rely on his instincts, resilience, and imagination to get safely back to the woman he dimly senses is waiting for his return. This is an extraordinary, visceral portrait of a man locked in a struggle with the forces of nature.
