An ambitious film student enters an intoxicating world of unpredictable romantic entanglements in this moving, vibrantly funny story of young love.

In this exquisite story of first love, a young woman falls into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy man.

Jacqueline (Cynthia Erivo), a young refugee, lands alone and penniless on a Greek island where she tries first to survive and then to cope with her past. While gathering her strength, she begins a friendship with a rootless tour-guide (Alia Shawkat) and together they find the resilience to forge ahead.

The Seasons in Quincy' is the result of a five-year project by Tilda Swinton, Colin MacCabe and Christopher Roth to produce a portrait of the intellectual and storyteller John Berger. It was produced by the Derek Jarman Lab, an audio-visual hub for graduate filmmaking based at Birkbeck, University of London, in collaboration with the composer Simon Fisher Turner.
