Adapted from Ali Smith’s novel by Harry McDonald and directed by Charlotte Vickers, Autumn is set in the aftermath of Britain's 2016 vote to leave the European Union. Elisabeth returns to her childhood village, where her elderly former neighbor Daniel lies in a deep sleep, dreaming of his past—his lost sister, Christine Keeler, and the art, poetry, and music that once filled his life. As new fences rise and the local library closes, Elisabeth's mother becomes engrossed in antiques shows on TV. In this adaptation, connections are found across time and experience, revealing the enduring strength of an unexpected love story amidst growing societal divides.
