"Twenty year old Thomas Flett lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, northern England, working his grandpa's trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the drizzly shore to scrape for shrimp and spends the afternoon selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and sea scum, pining for his neighbor Joan Wyeth, and playing songs on his guitar. At heart he is a folk musician, but this remains a private dream. Then a mysterious American arrives in town and enlists Thomas's help in finding a perfect location for his next movie..." "Haunting, timeless and stunningly atmospheric, Seascraper tells the story of a quiet existence upturned over the span of one day and a young man hemmed in by his circumstances, striving to achieve fulfillment far beyond the world he knows..."
