SUMMERLAND follows the story of fiercely independent folklore investigator, Alice who secludes herself in her clifftop study, debunking myths using science to disprove the existence of magic. Consumed by her work, but also profoundly lonely, she is haunted by a love affair from her past.
When spirited young Frank, an evacuee from the London Blitz, is dumped into her irritable care, his innocence and curiosity awaken Alice's deeply buried emotions. Bravely embracing life's miraculous unpredictability, Alice learns that wounds may be healed, second chances do occur, and that, just perhaps - magic really does exist.
SUMMERLAND features an array of talent, including Gemma Arterton (The Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle), Tom Courtenay (45 Years), Penelope Wilton (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), Lucas Bond (The Cleansing Hour) and Dixie Egerickx (The Little Stranger).
The film is directed and written by Jessica Swale (Leading Lady Parts) and produced by Guy Heeley (Locke) and Adrian Sturges (Chimerica).
SUMMERLAND will be digitally released on 5th October 2020 and is available on DVD on 12th October 2020.
