Something Solid

Obsessed with restoring the crumbling 17th century mill they call home, Will fails to fully appreciate his partner Lucie’s growing impatience and frustration with their daily lives. After a sudden change, their distant daughter Sarah visits them, but finds Will as difficult to talk to as ever. However, over the course of their visit, they rediscover the bonds that bind them together despite all that pushes them apart. Produced with a unique collaborative approach over two years of filming, “Something Solid” draws on the rhythm and beauty of a small-town community to tell a universal story of family, madness and love.
