Description

Collection of three Cornish-set dramas written and directed by Mark Jenkin. In 'Bait' (2019), despite having sold his parents' cottage to a wealthy couple from London, Cornish fisherman Martin (Edward Rowe) is still struggling to save enough money to buy himself a boat. As the tourist season begins and visitors start flocking to the coast, Martin can't hide his anger and growing resentment at the changes being made in the name of tourism.

'Enys Men' (2023) is a folk horror set in 1973 on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast. Every day, a woman (Mary Woodvine) inspects the wildflowers on the cliff and records her findings. As time passes and she endures her isolated existence, her memories jumble and she begins to hallucinate, losing herself to something like madness.

Finally, in 'Rose of Nevada' (2025), after a fishing vessel and its crew disappeared from a small Cornish village 30 years ago, the community never recovered from the loss. When the boat mysteriously reappears in the harbour, Nick and Liam (George MacKay and Callum Turner) set out in it in search of fish but when they return to shore, they are shocked to discover they have travelled 30 years into the past.
