The Last Winter - Short Film It is 1941. It is winter. The sky is grey and a mist hangs over a typical small fishing town on the Atlantic coast of France. But things are not what they seem, and when something strange and beautiful washes up on the shore their lives will change forever. It is 2012 and there is a bitter chill in the wind. An Englishman (Matthew) has come to the small, unassuming French fishing town following the death of his grandfather - a grandfather he knew nothing about. The town has a secret and soon Matthew will find out that he must put right the wrongs of the past. A story of great love, lust and death.
