Here’s the official synopsis: “It is deep Autumn and Sam and Tusker, partners of 20 years, are on holiday. They are traveling across England in their old camper van visiting friends, family and places from their past. Since Tusker was diagnosed with young-onset dementia two years ago their lives have had to change. Jobs have been given up and plans put on hold. Their time together is now the most important thing they have. As the trip progresses however, their individual ideas for their future begin to collide. Secrets are uncovered, private plans unravel and their love for each other is tested like never before. Ultimately, they must confront the question of what it means to love one another in the face of Tusker’s irreparable illness.”
Written and directed by “Hinterland” filmmaker Harry Macqueen, “Supernova” recently premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, where it’s receiving warm reviews. Over at Variety, Guy Lodge writes: “‘Supernova’ is beguilingly modest by design: essentially a two-man chamber piece twisted into the winding form of a British road movie, where nothing can move too fast, lest we reach the shore too soon.” “Supernova” opens in select theaters on January 29 before hitting VOD on February 16. Watch the trailer below.
