Atur - One solstice, two generations, a fragile bond

Set against the quiet beauty of the solstice in rural England, this compelling documentary captures a rare portrait of a father and son bound by tradition and divided by change.

Clan Elder Taloch lives a life of spiritual resilience and ancestral rhythm, while his teenage son Connach wrestles with adolescence, modernity, and the idea of home-schooling. Together, they embark on a journey to rediscover their roots—one that deepens their connection but risks isolating them from the wider world.

Woven with the textures of nature, ritual, and generational tension, the film is a poetic meditation on legacy, community, and the fragile threads that tether us to each other.
