Based on the novel by Ali Smith, Adapted by Harry McDonald, Directed by Charlotte Vickers
Summer 2016. Britain has voted to leave the European Union, Elisabeth has returned home to the village she grew up in, and her elderly former next-door neighbour Daniel won’t wake up. New fences are going up, the library is closed, and her mother keeps talking about the latest antiques show on TV.
Elsewhere, the sleeping Daniel Gluck dreams – of his long-lost little sister, of Christine Keeler; of art, poetry and music.
From writer Harry McDonald (Foam, Don’t Smoke in Bed) and director Charlotte Vickers (Sap, Andromeda) comes an adaptation of Ali Smith’s Booker-Prize shortlisted novel. As the divides between people become ever starker, Autumn finds connections across time and experience, and the resilience of the most unlikely of love stories.
