The Art of Catching Lobsters (2007)

The Art of Catching Lobsters plot

The film is set on the wild coast of North Cornwall where Nick Darke was born and raised. Nick is a fisherman, beachcomber and playwright. His wife actually wanted to make a film about his rehabilitation after a heart attack. But then Nick is diagnosed with terminal cancer and the documentary gradually evolves into a woman's homage to her husband and a chronicle of love, loss and grief. Nick Darke was born in 1948 and was first a theater actor and director. Then he devoted himself to writing. His oeuvre contains more than twenty plays. But besides that, Nick was also a man of the sea all his life. He was a passionate beachcomber and (lobster) fisherman. In the last months of his life he tries to pass on that love for the sea and his skill as a lobster fisherman to his son Henry. The film tells the story of that farewell in a moving, sometimes painful, but at the same time optimistic tone.
