This one's a beautiful, tender, quiet romantic drama with a moody atmosphere, set in a tight knit Welsh fishing community. It's a touching story about a man waking up sexually in the middle of his life, and how he, his family, and everyone around him deal with it, which makes it emotional and sentimental without ever getting over the top. The slow burn plays out against a landscape that's as bleak as it is gorgeous, where quiet, closed off men are stuck inside rigid ideas of what masculinity should be. Some people might be reminded of "God's Own Country," but I think both films are lovely in their own way. Jack is a middle aged guy who co-owns a mussel farm with his rough around the edges brother Dyfan, and the tension between the two of them is simmering under the surface right from the start.

Maybe you could help me remember a movie I watched around 2010, so it's not that old.
The only scene I remember is a respectable older man sitting in a front row of a classical music concert, looking at a smartly dressed younger teenager a couple seats to the left from him. In the next scene, the teenager is sitting in the man's apartment in front of an impressive hi-end/hi-fi stereo set, listening to classical music, while the older man fixes some drink.
I don't think the movie is gay related per se, as I normally don't watch those movies, perhaps just a sub-plot.
Does anything of this ring a bell? Thanks.
