A profound and moving exploration of masculinity and desire in a remote yet savagely beautiful fishing community. On the Sea tells the story of Jack (Barry Ward), a mussel farmer in North Wales whose life appears stable—he has a family, a business, and a routine. But beneath the surface lies a yearning he cannot ignore. When he meets Daniel (Lorne MacFadyen), a drifter passing through town, Jack begins to confront the tension between tradition and desire. Writer-director Walsh crafts a heartfelt exploration of love, shame, guilt, and the courage it takes to live honestly. On The Sea is a beautiful, sensual and at times, tragic exploration of masculinity, place and desire.
