See the films the platforms disagree about most →On the night of a rare blue moon, in a quiet coastal town, the lives of several residents intersect over the course of a single evening. A struggling musician, a retiring fisherman, a young couple facing a decision, and a stranger arriving on the last ferry each confront pivotal moments. Their separate stories weave together, exploring themes of love, regret, new beginnings, and the invisible threads that connect people, all under the glow of the extraordinary lunar event.
