Salt Water Town (Short Film)

Liam spends his days drinking with friends and racing his motorbike across the roads of his Welsh coastal town.

He helps run a failing caravan park with his father, Glenn, who clings to the belief that prosperity will soon return.

When an insurance inspector reveals the land they own is worthless as a result of rising sea levels, Liam must convince his father to abandon his lifelong home.

Their conflict over control of the park leads to desperate measures.
