"On the Sea" is a profound and moving exploration of masculinity and desire in a remote yet savagely beautiful fishing community.
Jack (Barry Ward) has been married to Maggie for over half his life. He works as a hand raker on the mussel beds in North Wales alongside his younger brother. Jack has always assumed that his own boy, Tom, will join the family business on leaving school but Tom's disclosure that he has no desire to follow in his father's footsteps creates familial tension. Tensions are intensified by the arrival of an itinerant skipper, Daniel (Lorne MacFadyen), who makes known his feelings for Jack. In this remote, rural community where life revolves around Church and fishery, Jack is faced with an impossible dilemma.

I did think that this movie and their performances were quite wonderful, as are the two actors themselves.
