Blow the Man Down

In the mist‑shrouded fishing town of Easter Cove, the rhythm of the sea is punctuated by an old shanty that whispers through every dock and doorway. After the death of their mother, the Connolly sisters return to the cramped house he left behind, confronting a place that feels both familiar and suddenly foreign. Priscilla carries the weight of responsibility, while Mary Beth is restless, each sister grappling with what the loss means for the future they thought they could leave behind.

The village, outwardly tight‑knit and weather‑worn, conceals a network of quiet agreements and unspoken rules that have kept its residents afloat for generations. Beneath the salty air and the clang of fishing boats lies a shadowed undercurrent of secrets—old loyalties, whispered trades, and a collective desire to protect the fragile peace that sustains them. As the sisters sift through their mother’s belongings, they sense that the community’s calm surface masks something far more complex.

When an unexpected incident forces the sisters to act together, they are thrust into the hidden side of Easter Cove, a world where loyalty can be as slippery as a fish on a line and danger lurks behind the most mundane conversations. Their bond becomes both a shield and a compass, guiding them through a maze of buried histories and a community that watches closely what is revealed or concealed.

Against a backdrop of cold winter seas and creaking porches, the film weaves a tone that is simultaneously haunting and intimate. It invites the audience to feel the pull of the tide—both the comfort of home and the unsettling depth of what lies beneath—leaving the sisters—and the viewer—wondering how far they will go to keep the truth from breaking the fragile surface of their lives.
