Islands

15

Islands follows Tom, a former professional tennis player who now works as a coach at an all-inclusive hotel in Fuerteventura. What initially seemed like a dream of endless summers has long since turned into a monotonous routine. Tourists come and go in a constant stream, while Tom fills the emptiness with fleeting affairs and alcohol.

When the mysterious Anne (Stacy Martin - The Brutalist) arrives at the hotel with her husband Dave and their young son, the family doesn't fit the typical tourist image. When Dave vanishes without a trace and Anne’s behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, Tom finds himself entangled in a situation outside his understanding.

Featuring a captivating performance by Leeds born Sam Riley, Islands is a gripping neo-noir set against the stunning, sun-drenched volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands. The film explores themes of disconnection and self-destruction, creating a tense atmosphere filled with mystery and emotional depth.
