The Whale Caller

Along the coast of a seaside village renowned for whale spotting, a local man has developed a special bond with one of the great waterbound beasts, so much so that he is initally blind to the advances of an attractive-yet-troubled woman. As the human relationship between two misfits develops, a fantastical, impossible love threatens to unravel reality.

My take

A tender, contemplative drama about human connection and missed chances. Watch this when you're in the mood for something quiet and introspective — it's the kind of film that lingers with you, exploring what happens when we're so caught up in our passions that we fail to see what's right in front of us.
