A man and woman in their late thirties sit on a sunny beach, the man staring out to sea as the woman looks at him. They both wear sunglasses.

About Islands

Between drinking sessions and one-night stands, washed-up tennis pro Tom (Sam Riley) clings to a job coaching holidaymakers at a hotel in Fuerteventura. When English couple Anne and Dave (Stacy Martin and Jack Farthing) arrive, their presence sets off a chain of events that leads to a mysterious disappearance.

Islands is a contemporary, intelligent thriller with noirish undertones and stylistic echoes of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith, stunningly shot against the sun-drenched volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands.
