Full plot (spoilers)

Rose of Nevada is set in a declining Cornish fishing village stripped of its industry, its pubs empty and moorings abandoned. Thirty years before the story begins, the fishing vessel Rose of Nevada and its entire crew were lost at sea, a catastrophe from which the community never recovered. When the boat mysteriously reappears in the harbor, it is greeted as an uncanny omen of hope. Two struggling locals seize the opportunity: Nick (George MacKay), a father desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a homeless dockworker looking to escape his circumstances. Together with an experienced skipper named Murgey, they set out on a fishing voyage aboard the returned vessel. After a single trip at sea, the three men return to shore only to find themselves displaced thirty years into the past, deposited back at the moment of the original tragedy. The village exists as it did decades ago, and the inhabitants mistake the two newcomers for members of the original crew: Liam is taken for Alan, an absent father who sailed with the doomed ship, and Nick is taken for Luke, a fisherman who, consumed by guilt, took his own life on that fateful day. Nick grasps the full weight of his displacement when he runs to what should be his home and finds it empty, then encounters Luke's parents, who receive him warmly as their son. The film follows the men as they reckon with this impossible situation, caught inside a past they do not belong to, haunted by questions of identity, guilt, and loss. Director Mark Jenkin frames the story as a hallucinatory, grief-laden mystery that uses time-travel to examine what remains of a community after catastrophe erases the lives that once sustained it.
