The ending of Aftersun may need to be explained, as it leaves the answer to the main question open to viewer interpretation. Aftersun comes from director Charlotte Wells in her feature debut, which earned an Academy Award nomination in 2023 for Best Actor for Paul Mescal, who stars as Calum. The film follows a young Scottish girl named Sophie (Frankie Corio) who holidays with her single father, Calum, at a Turkish resort. Calum has recently separated from his wife and is using this opportunity to bond with his daughter on the eve of his 31st birthday. Interspersed throughout the film are chaotic scenes of a rave and Calum dancing.
