Eventide
‘Try and do something with your life. Be deliberate, you know?’ A love song, an elegy, a celebration – Eventide tells the story of three people whose worlds are disappearing.

Their tales unfold round the back of a pub hidden deep in the heart of the Hampshire countryside. But is that heart still beating?
