“A poignant and achingly moving tale of love and loss” — on September 15, see Finnish filmmaker Klaus Härö’s My Sailor, My Love at Scandinavia House!

Howard (James Cosmo) is a widowed sailor living alone on the coast of Ireland. As he struggles to care for himself, his daughter, Grace (Catherine Walker) hires Annie (Bríd Brennan) to help out around the house. Though Howard initially rejects this imposition, Annie’s charm and gentle care win him over, and the two fall in love. But where Annie’s large and loving family welcomes Howard into their lives, the new relationships only serve to illuminate the depth of pain and hurt between Howard and Grace, who is facing challenges of her own. As her resentment tears at an otherwise idyllic love story, they must learn to heal wounds of the past.

A windswept drama deftly balances a universal family saga with a tender and timeless romance, My Sailor, My Love is “filled with sage wisdom and vulnerable people struggling to do the best that they can even when they are at their worst…a lovely indie” (San Jose Mercury News).
