Winner of the Jury Prize and joint Best Supporting Performance award for Tom Courtenay and Anna Calder-Marshall at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, Queen at Sea is a powerful and deeply emotional drama.

Juliette Binoche plays recently divorced academic Amanda, who relocates to London to care for her mother, Leslie (Calder-Marshall) who is living with advanced dementia.

Amanda butts heads with her stepfather, Martin (Courtenay), the pair divided over whether Leslie still has the ability to make critical decisions in her own best interests. If not, who is responsible - a spouse, a child, an institution - to make that call?

As Amanda and Martin are forced to make increasingly difficult choices, especially in regard to Martin’s role as Leslie’s carer, the repercussions spiral out of their control.

In his long-awaited second feature, writer/director Lance Hammer delivers a thought-provoking and cerebral character study, anchored by powerhouse performances that are guaranteed to stay with you.
