From writer and director HARRY MACQUEEN (Hinterland) comes Supernova, a heartrending modern love story about a couple struggling with a diagnosis of young-onset dementia who take a road trip together to reconnect with friends, family and places from their past.
Academy Award winner COLIN FIRTH (The Secret Garden, The King’s Speech) stars as Sam alongside Academy Award nominee STANLEY TUCCI (The King’s Man, The Lovely Bones) as Tusker. The wider cast includes Pippa Haywood (TV’s Green Wing) as Lilly, Peter Macqueen as Clive and James Dreyfus (Notting Hill) as Tim.
