The film keeps the small movements a still frame cannot hold: the pull of light along the shore, the sea rhythm, and the quiet pressure of weather arriving from the firth.
Recorded across forty minutes of a February dawn and edited into three slow movements — the approach, the breaking, and the calm after.
Some mornings the frame holds nothing of what the place felt like.
The film is for those mornings — / the small movements between the stills.

A north-easterly running hard against the headland; the lighthouse a fixed point in a hurrying frame.

Fog moving slowly across the bay at low tide — almost nothing happens, which is the point.
