Above the Clouds

About This Movie

Above the Clouds is this intriguing blend of comedy and drama that captures the essence of youthful rebellion and self-discovery. Charlie, on her 18th birthday, uncovers a shocking family secret that propels her on a road trip from Margate to the Isle of Skye. The pacing feels laid-back yet purposeful, with a whimsical tone that balances moments of levity with deeper emotional beats. The chemistry between Charlie and Oz, the rough sleeper she teams up with, creates a dynamic that's both heartfelt and at times, surprisingly comedic. The film uses practical effects sparingly, relying more on the rawness of the characters and their interactions. It’s that kind of indie charm that makes you think about the choices we make and the families we choose.
