The Tide Turns

A mute young woman, Nora, awakens into a surreal domestic prison, a seemingly idyllic beachside cottage under the suffocating control of a charismatic but sinister Fisherman and his increasingly unstable partner.

Directed by Benjamin Mair, The Tide Turns leans on a strong ensemble — Tamara Lee Bailey, Eva Gosk, Jarred Keane — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2026.
