Bloody Bay

Original title: Bloody Bay
Participated in: MIDPOINT Series Launch 2025
Country: Greece, France, UK

An improbable IVF success forces four fifty-somethings to sink or swim – with a baby, a boat, and no refunds on either. Turns out coming-of-age can ambush you at any age.

Gregory and Kate are 50-ish and have wildly different marriage-saving ideas. He's hell-bent on selling their house to sail the world before his failing heart gives out; she's desperate for a baby to give her life purpose. When IVF fails in Greece, their best friend Marta—Gregory's ex and a stalled filmmaker—makes a spectacularly misguided offer: her frozen eggs. A secret donor. Gregory has no clue. It's all a laugh, until Kate is pregnant.

A year on: there's a baby, Gregory's sold the house for his dream boat, and everyone's barely functioning. The new parents are shattered, Marta contemplates professional relevance, and her boyfriend Martin reappears with his own midlife baggage. A maiden voyage to Bloody Bay promises salvation—until the boat breaks, Gregory's seasick, and their secret detonates.

Between Greek beach huts and broken boats, four lost souls navigate partnership, parenthood, and fading dreams. Sometimes coming-of-age ambushes you at 50—and drops you in deeper waters.
