Storyline
Low Tide tells the story of the last three days of a woman's life. Kathy is dying of cancer and is being nursed at home. Her husband Tom cooks and cares for her but is unable to offer her emotional support and keeps himself apart, playing his music or drinking with a recently widowed friend. Kathy forms a strong attachment to her visiting nurse, confiding in her about her past affairs, her ambiguous feelings towards Tom and her fear of death. Her closest friend comes to visit and a rift is healed. Memories haunt her and eventually, after a painful confrontation, she and Tom attempt to come to terms with her infidelities, their unhappy marriage and the loss of their only child. Written by Jon Sanders

"A small film about life and death that hits home more than most self-important big ones." **** (Derek Malcolm) "Premiering this Sunday at Curzon Soho, Jon Sanders' Low Tide is a micro-budget drama about the last days of a terminally ill middle-aged woman. Distinguished by an elegant, very English sense of formal restraint but raging with raw,heartfelt emotion, the film is remarkably moving, sometimes unbearably so. It's well worth seeing." (Time Out) . ..... "It's a beautiful, at times funny and terrifying film which daringly explores our inner most fears. With revealing (improvised) performances, natural lighting and a simple, effective structure, Low Tide will stay with you long after you leave the cinema." (Curzon Cinema, Soho)
