What is Rose of Nevada about?
In a derelict Cornish fishing village, the Rose of Nevada — a boat lost at sea thirty years ago with all hands — mysteriously reappears in the harbour. George MacKay and Callum Turner join a new crew hoping to restore the town's luck, but after a successful voyage they return to find themselves thirty years in the past, mistaken for the men who vanished. Mark Jenkin writes, shoots, edits, scores, and sound-designs this analogue folk sci-fi with the same handmade grain as Bait and Enys Men — image and dialect over exposition, patience as craft.
