Director Dan Thorburn

A peaceful working relationship between two power-line repair men is put under pressure when one returns to work after a family bereavement. Neil Bell (Peterloo) and Kris Hitchen (Sorry We Missed You) star as Mike and Rob, co-workers who must allow themselves to open up before they are able to move on.

In Trucker’s Atlas, the rural landscapes of the UK provide the backdrop for an exploration into emotional repression and outdated ideas of masculinity within middle aged, working-class men.
